What are the 5 steps?
Here is a document to transfer the roles:

Is server2 a Global Catalog server? Is server2 a DNS server? From the
sounds of it, it is not. So you can move the fsmo roles around all you want
and it won't help with the problem you are having. If this is a single
domain forest then promote the second dc to a gc and if it is AD integrated
load dns on this second dc. If not integrated make this second dc a
secondary dns server.

I have 2 domain controllers server1 is the primary domain controller with
DNS, DHCP, and global catalogue server. The other server2 is our
exchange2000 email server. When server1 goes down the entire network goes
down here and it will not let us connect to email until server1 is up.
Lately server1 has been shutting down on a regular basis so we want to
move
over all operations to server2 our exchange server. I did some research
and
found a document that explains how to transfer operations master in 5
steps
but I wanted to check here first to see if anyone has had any experience
doing this. I just dont want to run through these 5 steps and find out I
missed something and end up breaking our network.
