RE: [ActiveDir] making another domain forest root

[Jorge de Almeida Pinto]

In W2K3 AD in DFL and FFL W2K3 you have the possibility to rename and/or reposition AD domains within an AD forest. You can however rename a forest root domain but you can not reposition it. A domain rename/reposition is also only possible when certain systems accept it (e.g. E2K3 with SP1) and it has impact on the whole AD forest!   In W2K AD it is not possible to rename/reposition a domain within the AD forest   Maybe in the next version of AD...   Why do you want to keep domain Y and remove domain X? Is it not possible for you to migrate domain Y into domain X?   Regards Jorge From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Calders Stijn Sent: Tuesday, December 14, 2004 16:14 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] making another domain forest root Hi,   I’ve a little question: is it possible to make another domain forest root? I mean: domain X is now forest root domain, and I want to make domain Y forest root domain. If it is possible, how do I do this? (Actually, I want to shut down domain X, but I can’t since it is forest root domain.)   Many thanks in advance, Stijn Calders This e-mail and any attachment is for authorised use by the intended recipient(s) only.
