Started a new job a little while back, and I’m in a situation where I’ve got AD servers that were cloned and farmed out to different application environments, where they run separately in segregated networks and don’t communicate with each other at all. I need to pull them all back together and handle active directory as a shared service across environments so that we can scale this application better. All of the domains are identical. Most of the accounts are identical, from what I can tell. What’s the best way to go about merging these back into a single instance? Anyone run into this before?
Can you clarifying your terminology “ad servers” I’m guessing you mean domain controllers.
If so then this is a cluster fcuk of a mess you’ve got.. you should pick one domain and make it the primary then forget about the others and migrate every server manually..
Alternatively create a new primary domain, create a domain trust between one of the original domains, migrate everything you need, delete the trust, power off the old environment, then repeat for each other domain :/
