Hello,

the easiest, the better for me. If I can keep the same domain but
"change" my PDC, I'd rather do that.

So if I understand correctly :

- Install a new Win2003 Server in the existing domain
- run dcpromo
- move FSMO roles from the old DC to the new DC (How?)
- make new Win2003 server DNS and global catalog (How?)
- run dcdiag and netdiag
- shut down old DC
Is it correct?

Should I use a separate machine or it's a good idea to run dcpromo on
my existing Exchange server?

Thanks,
Alex

Hello alexbf,

You talk about a new domain. So did you have a real new domain name
or will you use the old domain name like before? If you just use the
old domain name, the exchange server is still a member of the
existing domain, that's all.

Great, thanks a lot I'll try that.

But after that, do I have to move my exchange server to the new DC
or it'll be automatic? If I have to move it, how do I proceed?

Also, Is it a good idea to have my Exchange server promoted as the
new DC or I should install another machine?

Thanks,
Alex

Hello ale...@xxxxxxxxx,

Install the new computer in your domain, run dcpromo on it and make
it a
second dc. In 2000/2003 theire is no longer a pdc/bdc concept. Then
you can
move the FSMO roles by hand to the new dc. Also make it DNS server
and global
catalog. If everything is installed so far, run dcdiag and netdiag
on
the
new dc, to check everything is running without error. After that
reconfigure
the clients to use the new dc as DNS server.

Hello,

We have a network configured with a Primary Domain Controller
(Win2000) and an Exchange server on another machine (Win2003). The
machine on which the PDC is installed is kinda old and is starting
to have disk problems.

Before everything comes down, I would like to install another PDC
on another machine, copy the objects of the old PDC Active
Directory to the new PDC and move the Exchange server from one
domain to the other.

I have limited knowledge in domain administration so I would like
to know what is the best way to proceed?

Thanks a lot,
Alex- Hide quoted text -
