MCSE, MCP+I, MCTS, CompTIA A+, N+, VSP4, VTSP4 From: David Lum [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, June 28, 2012 2:14 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Upgrading DC's to 2K8 Reality check: Empty forest root MYDOMAIN.LOCAL ML-DC01 ML-DC02 Then subdomain SUBDOMAIN.MYDOMAIN.LOCAL SML-DC01 SML-DC02 All are currently 2K3 DC's. Ideally I think we'd like to upgrade them to W2K8 DC's and keep the same name (we have a fair amount of LDAP-y stuff that looks at names). What about this plan for ML-DC01? 1. Create 2008 R2 DC ML-DC03 2. Move the FSMO/DHCP roles to ML-DC03 3. DCPROMO W2K3 ML-DC01 to member status 4. Build new 2008 R2 ML-DC01 with same name and IP, Make it a DC 5. Move FSMO roles back to ML-DC01 David Lum Systems Engineer // NWEATM Office 503.548.5229 // Cell (voice/text) 503.267.9764 ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin This email and any attached files are confidential and intended solely for the intended recipient(s).
