It's not a big deal really.
There's a MS Pro who blogged about this somewhere, but it won't kill you for a small site. -sc From: James Kerr [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, September 03, 2009 5:27 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: change operatins master 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? ----- Original Message ----- From: Erik Goldoff <mailto:[email protected]> To: NT System Admin Issues <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, September 03, 2009 5:16 PM Subject: RE: change operatins master 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 Erik Goldoff IT Consultant Systems, Networks, & Security ________________________________ From: James Kerr [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, September 03, 2009 5:10 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: change operatins master Yeah, trouble is that below that button the 2000 DC is listed there as well. ----- Original Message ----- From: Erik Goldoff <mailto:[email protected]> To: NT System Admin Issues <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, September 03, 2009 5:01 PM Subject: RE: change operatins master should be a button for the second listing, where you can change from the current to the desired DC Erik Goldoff IT Consultant Systems, Networks, & Security ________________________________ From: James Kerr [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, September 03, 2009 4:57 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: change operatins master 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?
