Time sync and removing a server

[Jason]

Hello.  We have 4 Netware 6.5 servers.  I want to remove one.  This is what I had done thus far.

1) Demoted servers replica copy to Read/Write and promoted another server to hold the Master copy of the replica

2) Demoted server time setting to secondary and promoted another server to single

 

DSRepair shows everything is ok.

 

I had to change the time on the servers this AM and now Synthetic time is being used. 

 

My question is, does Synthetic time effect the removal of eDirectory on a server when I run the nwconfig / remove eDirectory to take the server out?  Or is it ok to run that even though time is not fully syncronized?

 

Thanks!

Jason,

By how much did you change time? The synthetic messages will disappear
after a while so if you want to play it safe, then wait for that.

If the server is going away go ahead and remove replicas entirely before
removing the server. Synthetic time may affect things but hopefully your
time change was not more than a few hours so that should go away soon.

Good luck.
