You need to ensure that your DNS servers can resolve partners.adatum.com to the correct IP address immediately

IP addresses of the Web server will change.
After the change is complete, the users on your internal network report that they fail to access the
website. However, some users who work from home report that they can access the website.

Technically, none of these options will work if the internal clients have it cached locally. You’d still end up waiting for the TTL of the client cache it expire or run an IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS on every client.

Set-DnsServerCache -MaxTtl 0x0

-MaxTtl 0x0
