Moving Site

[Liam Maude]

I want to collapse 2 sites into 1. The site I want to
remove would have been the default first site.
Does anybody lnow of any good reference material
for doing this?

All you should have to do is create the site, move the DC's into that site
and don't forget to associate the subnets with the new site.

The Active Directory Operations Guide,
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/administration/activedirectory/adops.asp ,
has more info on moving domain controllers and removing sites. One
important thing to check is to make sure the changes Mark outlines are
replicated to the other DCs.

Thanks for your input Guys.

Thanks for the info Jason & Mark, the guide looks very useful.
One thing I can't establish is when to physically move
servers from site to site. Do I shut them down, make the
AD changes then power them up at the new site, or do I
make the AD changes first then physically move them?
