RE: dcpromo 2 old W2K dc's

2010-09-16 Thread pdw1914 

Thank you very much, Brian (and you, too, Dan).The re-introduction of 
deleted items was something I had not considered.
I will remove them from AD.  I won't bother to reload them, though.  They are 
old DG servers long past their prime.

It will potentially reintroduce deleted objects back in to your AD. If this 
time limit has been reached you absolutely CANNOT put these boxes back on the 
network – as they’re W2k they need to be wiped and reloaded. Thanks,Brian

Subject: dcpromo 2 old W2K dc's

We're running two W2003 dc's but have not 'upgraded' to W2003 AD; still running 
on W2K.  I have the 2 W2k dc's off-line right now.  I want to demote both.  My 
question is:  since the W2K dc's have been off-line for a while, should I bring 
them on-line and then leave it be for a while so the fRS can complete or I can 
bring it on-line and run dc-promo right away? Note that DNS is not running on 
the W2K dc's; that was moved to the W2003.

How long is “a while” in reference to how long they’ve been offline?

RE: dcpromo 2 old W2K dc's

2010-09-09 Thread Don Guyer 
Are they going to be repurposed (wiped and reloaded) or just tossed? If
so, I would just leave them offline and remove any references to them in
the current AD environment.
