Dear All,
I have read many post regarding transferring DC roles but
I still cannot piece all the info together...
Here's what I need to do, im sure it's simple...
We have two domain controllers (Win2k A.server),
replication is working o.k. (as far as I know) but the
primary DC needs to be removed from the domain to be re-
loaded.
DNS is only installed on the PDC and also the global
catalog is only on the PDC.
I understand that I need to install and configure DNS on
the BDC and allow dynamic updates and also make the BDC a
global catalog but how do I transfer the other roles? Does
dcpromo transfer these for me once I have sorted DNS/GC?
Also are there implications having two GC on the same
domain whilst I try and remove the PDC?
All help greatly appreciated!!
