RE: [ActiveDir] Decommissioning a DC

Well if you have some crappy app that is hardcoded to it by name or ip it will break, but that’s fine – you need to fix those problems anyway.   Otherwise do it and forget about it.   Thanks, Brian Desmond [EMAIL PROTECTED]   c - 312.731.3132   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lucas, Bryan Sent: Tuesday, November 07, 2006 4:23 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] Decommissioning a DC   We have several DC’s in our environment all of which are 2003 SP1 servers except for one.  I am preparing to demote this one through DCPromo this weekend.  All of our DC’s are also GC’s, including this last remaining 2000 server.  It does not own any FSMO roles.  The Exchange RUS services are not using this DC.  We are a single site and domain.   Is there anything unique about demoting the last 2000 DC, given there are plenty of other 2003 DC/GC’s available?   Bryan Lucas Server Administrator Texas Christian University
