SUMMARY
When the domain controller (DC) or Global Catalog server (GC) assignments are changed or reshuffled in a topology, the DSAccess can detect and recognize the changes and take appropriate action without any manual intervention.

MORE INFORMATION
DSAccess capability to dynamically reassess its DC/GC related environmental changes has been tested in all the following scenarios:


 * Adding a new DC
 * Changing a DC to a GC
 * Changing a GC to a DC
 * Deleting a DC

When you add DCs or GCs in an environment which has a very active messaging infrastructure (lot of e-mail activity), you can ensure that DSAccess is working correctly by monitoring the NTDS LDAP Searches/sec counter on a previously available DC/GC and the newly introduced DC/GC. You should see reduced activity on the previously available DC/GC when the new DC/GC is brought into the picture.
