Dear whoever you are, It's going to depend on the size and scope of your domain - how many DC's, how often replication is set to occur, link speed, etc, etc.
What you say sounds plausible, but what of these other "environmental" factors? themolk. ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tech QnA Sent: Wednesday, 13 December 2006 4:50 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] Moving an AD 2003 Domain Controller to a new server Are there any potential issues when moving a backup Domain Controller off of one server and onto a new server (both Windows 2003 at the same location)? I was going to build and promote the new server, transfer the FSMO roles from the old to the new DC and then demote the old server both in the same day. Thanks. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
