There's a newer version of ROBOCOPY available, even for XP/2000. Version ID is XP026. It adds the /DCOPY (Directory Copy) switch, among several other things. Annoyingly, Microsoft only distributes it within the the Robocopy GUI package from a Utility Spotlight article for TechNet Magazine. (How's *THAT* for a distribution channel?) It's still a freebie, though. And you don't need the Robocopy GUI to use it. The original URL is: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2006.11.utilityspotlight.aspx If you don't care about directory timestamps, then the ROBOCOPY from a Resource Kit should be okay, I think. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~

Here is how to find them: http://www.petri.co.il/determining_fsmo_role_holders.htm To replace a DC...bring the new one up with a new name. Move the rolls you need to off the old one either to the new one or to the other DC's. You do that with the GUI tool that is listed in the chart at the link above. DCPromo the old DC to remove the DC role. That makes it a member server. Go have coffee to let it all shake out and replicate then remove that DC (now a member server) from the domain. From: David W.

This will get you started: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324801 You may have other issues as well. GC placement. DNS, WINS, DHCP, RIS, WSUS, etc.. It's a really good idea to have all this documented someplace so when the time comes to do a migration you have all the information at hand.

Re: Replacing Win2k3 DC
Yeah, I think that's all you need to do. It just makes it and Exchange aware of one another. We had to rebuild a DC recently, the other two dc's we have hadn't had the domainprep run on them, and Exchange quit working (even though the other two were global catalog servers), ran the domainprep and all was happy again. As others have said but just to sum it all up: 1. build up your new dc 2. move FSMO roles 3. dcpromo old dc to demote it 4. and wait, we typically give it at least 24 hours if not more.. At this point, you are in no hurry, you've replaced it with the new dc, just let it sit for a day or two before removing it from the domain and scrapping it. On Wed, Apr 22, 2009 at 1:35 PM, David W.
