Active Directory - tombstone Lifetime (server 2008)

neathneathneath

Hi,

I am doing my 70-646 (again) shortly and whilst revising, I have come across some conflicting information.

I was under the impression that the default tombstone Lifetime was 60 days for server 2003 and 180 days for Server 2008 (as per CBT nuggets).

Sybex 70-646 book says 60 days.

Anyone got any firm information / links to any microsoft figures on this?

thanks

The default tombstone lifetime was 180 days in Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 (SP1), Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 2 (SP2), and Windows Server 2008.

The default tombstone lifetime (TSL) value remains at 60 days instead of increasing to 180 days in Windows Server 2003 R2
