Re: Active Directory

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi,

Ok. That will be much easier that migratioin between two domains.

1. Pomote the new server to DC.
2. Transfer FSMO to new DC.
3. Demote the old DC.
4. Retire the old DC.

Regarding the transfer FSMo, please refer to:
