Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
Domain/Forest is 2008R2. I need to remove two 2008R2 DCs from domain, have one remaining 2008R2 DC for now. Sysvol currently being replicated using DFS. How can I stop Sysvol replicating from DFS? Will demoting those 2 DCs remove them from Sysvol replication?<br />
<br />
TIA
