Re: Migrating from one machine to another

Thanks so much for your answers.
Well i had a look to the fsmo roles and it seems that the server is not
holding any role.
At least it is a GC but not the only one of the domain.
I forgot to mention that the server is also an Exchange server 2003. So
i guess that logically i have to promote the new server as DC before
installing the Exchange software, am i right?
