I was thinking I at least need to make sure to change where the old PDCe gets it's time source from once you transfer roles, or does it know to change as part of the FSMO role move? Transferring roles, I just use the MMC and move and everything else will take care of itself yes?

Can you elaborate?

Someday I'll learn to complete my thoughts... From: Ken Schaefer [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, November 12, 2012 3:45 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Transferring FSMO roles RID master is required, otherwise you'll not be able to create new objects at some point in the future. Schema Master is required, otherwise you won't be able to update the schema at some point in the future. Infra Master and Domain Naming master are not so important in a single domain environment. PDCe doesn't have to be the authoritative time source - it is by default though. Cheers Ken From: David Lum [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, 13 November 2012 4:21 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Transferring FSMO roles I rolled out a W2K8DC this weekend to a domain that previously didn't have a 2K8 DC. One of my next tasks is to transfer FSMO roles off the 2003 DC's - as they are on ancient hardware - to the new DC. As near as I can tell, the PDC role (since it's the timekeeper) is the only one needing real thought in a single domain environment. Sound right?
