Thanks, going from ADUC on the 2003 DC did the trick. Now I'm reminded of
something. Getting a popup stating that infrastructure master role should not
be transferred to a GC server. Argh, its going to be the only server at that
site. Do I have really need to have two DCs at a small site? What may happen if
I hit yes to transfer the role?

but no other servers in the list ???
Does the new server show up in Domain Controllers' container in ADUC ?
ok, in ADUC, right click on the domain.local and you should have an option
to connect to another server, pick the one you want to house the role ....
then click on Operations master and click the CHANGE button
OR, if you did this from the 2008 server, the change should already be set
with the old server holding the role, and the new server in the second position
to Change to

Yeah, trouble is that below that button the 2000 DC is listed there as well.

should be a button for the second listing, where you can change from the
current to the desired DC

Heh all, I have an old 2003 DC and a new 2008 DC. Im trying to remove the
2003 DC and when I got into change the operations master the only DC listed in
both sections is the 2003 DC. So how do I make the 2008 DC the operations
master, or is this something that isnt even part of 2008?
