| Hello Jim,
|
| Thank you for using newsgroup!
|
| From your post, I'd like to thanks for other peoples great information
| sharing. Generally, you may use Dcdiag.exe from the support tools to
verify
| that all the domain controllers have shared Netlogon and Sysvol shares.
To
| do so, type the following command at a command prompt:
| DCDIAG.EXE /e /test:frssysvol
|
| The schema and infrastructure operations masters are used to introduce
| forest and domain-wide schema changes to the forest and its domains that
| are made by the Windows Server 2003 adprep utility. Verify that the
domain
| controller that hosts the schema role and infrastructure role for each
| domain in the forest reside on live domain controllers and that each role
| owner has performed inbound replication over all partitions since they
were
| last restarted.
|
| The DCDIAG /test:FSMOCHECK command can be used to view forest-wide and
| domain-wide operational roles. Operations master roles that reside on
| non-existent domain controllers should be seized to a healthy domain
| controller by using NTDSUTIL. Roles that reside on unhealthy domain
| controllers should be transferred if possible. Otherwise, they should be
| seized. The NETDOM QUERY FSMO command does not identify FSMO roles that
| reside on deleted domain controllers.
|
| Verify that the schema master and each infrastructure master has
performed
| inbound replication of Active Directory since last booted. Inbound
| replication can be verified by using the REPADMIN /SHOWREPS DCNAME
command,
| where DCNAME is the NetBIOS computer name or the fully qualified computer
| name of a domain controller. For more information about operations
masters
| and their placement, click the following article numbers to view the
| articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

| | Hello,
| |
| | I have a W2000S running with the FSMO roles of PDC, RID,
Infrastructure,
| | etcetera. All my other DC's are W2003S. I want to decommission this
last
| | W2000S DC and only have W2003S DC's.
| |
| | My question is this: Should I move the FSMO roles manually off the
W2000S
| to
| | a W2003S DC or will the DCPROMO down to a domain member server of the
| W2000S
| | prompt me to move the roles to another DC? Which would be the
safest/best
| | way to do this.
| |
| | Thanks,
| |
| | Jim M.
