Need Advice on Disjoin/Rejoin

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.active_directory (More info?)

Nate,

I am not sure that I understand why you want to ghost your servers every
quarter? This does not make a lot of sense to me. If you were talking
about the clients then I might suggest that every six months or so would be
maybe a better idea. But, you are talking about servers! Unless there was
some horrible problem with a server I would not just randomly remove it from
the domain and then re-add it. I am not sure that I understand this.....
