Depromo the first DC in the domainDear All,
We are planning to retire the first DC running Windows 2003 Standard Edition in our domain. I have already installed a new Windows 2003 Std Edition and joined the same Domain. Replication is working fine. I want to know if it is just a matter of depromoting the old server that all the Operations Master will be transferred to the new server. Or do I have to manually transfer all the Operations Master before depromoting the old one? Thanks in advance. Regards, Tony

And also not forget other special services, which may be hosted by the retired machine, like DNS, Distributed File System and similar. You can also take a look to the KB article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/255504 "Using Ntdsutil.exe to transfer or seize FSMO roles to a domain controller" which contains a description of the various methods of transfering FSMO roles. Best greetings from Germany Olaf FSMOs *should* automatically migrate when you DCPROMO. However, I would move
them manually just to be safe. Also, if you have multiple DCs, you will probably want to decide where the FSMOs are located. From what I know, any other services (DNS, DHCP, etc.) will have to be set up on the new DC before you DCPROMO the old one. My process would be (after you think everything is set up properly) to take the old DC off-line and run without it for a while. After a few days (don't let it exceed the tombstone period), then bring it back on line, let it replicate (probably not necessary) and then DCPROMO it. If it is being de-commisioned, take it out of the domain. -- Show quoteHide quoteRegards, Hank Arnold "Tony" <t***@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:OuIS1VrgFHA.1416@TK2MSFTNGP09.phx.gbl... > Dear All, > > We are planning to retire the first DC running Windows 2003 Standard > Edition > in our domain.

Operations Master transfer only occurs either manually, through a none cooperative seizure or if you dcpromo a machine out that is holding a role. -- Show quoteHide quoteRegards, Mike -- Mike Brannigan [Microsoft] This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights Please note I cannot respond to e-mailed questions, please use these newsgroups "Guus Ellenkamp" <Ellenkamp_G***@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:O3756V3gFHA.2700@TK2MSFTNGP15.phx.gbl... > Moving manually might be of no use.
