What happens if Infrastructure master goes down,
This post is regarding what happensifInfrastructure master goes down,wouldthere be anyimpact onthe end user?
A failure of the infrastructure master will be noticeable to administrators but not to users. Because the master is responsible for updating the names of group members from other domains, it can appear as if group membership is incorrect although, as mentioned earlier in this lesson, membership is not actually affected. You can seize the infrastructure master role to another domain controller and then transfer it back to the previous role holder when that system comes online.
So, that’s all in this blog. I will meet you soon with next stuff .Have a nice day !!!
