What you need to do:
If you have an application or code which relies on the NETID Active Directory domain, you may need to adjust its configuration.
Known problems:
-If your application does not automatically use the Microsoft DC locator process, but instead hard-codes domain controller names or caches domain controller names for an inordinate period of time

More info:
All Windows computers use the Microsoft DC locator process. Non-Windows computers generally do not, although there are exceptions. If your system does not automatically locate domain controllers, you may need to manually configure and/or take actions that clear any cached information.

If you have questions, concerns, or encounter problems as a result of this planned change, please contact us by sending an email to help at uw.edu<mailto:help at uw.edu> with "MI DC demotion" in the subject line.

Thank you for partnering with Microsoft Infrastructure and Identity & Access Management.

Best,
~Anne
