How to remove old DC from AD Connect/AD DS Services?
An ailing on-prem domain controller was originally syncing to Azure. We exported the config and imported it into a new AD Connect instance on a different server. Sync services are health but in AD DS Services it is still referencing the old DC. How can I remove this and point it to the new server. The new server is not the Domain Naming master or the Schema master.
I have two DC's, both are global catalog servers.
