NOTE A single Domain Controller may be selected as both an FDS and RDS. We recommend selecing
DCs with reliable connections and availability to serve in the FDS and RDS capacities for VCM for Active
Directory collections.
If you change your RDS, any data previously collected from the RDS is not purged. The data is refreshed
when you run a new collection and gather data from the new RDS.
