Given that you only have 2 DCs in the whole forest, your
below solution may prove to be prudent.
I would hate to have an issue whilst the org was reliant
upon just 1 DC!
Do clients use the DCs for DNS name resolution too, for
example? If so, how will you cater for the IP change and the downtime of the DC?
How do Exchange servers locate DC/GCs in the forest?
IMO previous posts on this subject imply that the exercise
is relatively trivial - I'd suggest there are more inter dependencies than
at first realised. Since you only have 2 DCs, removal of 1 represents a 50%
removal of DCs. Any issues will affect ~50% of the users. Is this an acceptable
risk?
Your call.

Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Domain Controller - Location Move
Thanks for the responses - I
wonder if it would just be easier to create a new DC at the new location (within
the new AD site).

A good place to start is the following checklist that Jorge posted awhile back: "How to move a DC to another site?": http://blogs.dirteam.com/blogs/jorge/archive/2005/11/25/165.aspx There have also been a number of discussions that you can find in the list archives: http://www.activedir.org/ml/threads.aspx HTH Laura On 6/8/06, Contreras, Robert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hello everyone, > > Simple question - just want to verify: > > Single forest\single domain comprised on 2 domain controllers physically in > one location.
