Re: GC server/infrastructure master question

I did notice some clients were referencing some old settings but when I
released and renewed the ip they were good. Along with a couple that had WINS
hard coded.
I will check on the Certificate Services etc. tomorrow morning at work. I
did not set this server up. Any other services I should be concerned with?
Sorry for all the questions, but where would I check for a hard coded
reference in a login script?

Thanks kj-
I made all DC's GC's. Then I transferred Infra Master role to the new
DC. I also see all machines when i use net view now. I logged on to a
users computer and checked ip, etc.
In reference to the old Win 2000 DC...I shutdown the DHCP Server
service. I will leave it shut off for a week, then I will demote
using dcpromo. Am I missing anything? Should I shut down the old DC
now?

If you are planning to take it off line to see if any old references remain,
then just make sure the clients aren't trying to use it for DNS services or
an old hard coded refence in a login script or such.

Otherwise you should be fine. Didn't have any other special services on that
DC like Certificate Services?

Hello,
I am installing a Win2003 Server/DC to take the place of the first
Win2000 Server/DC on the domain. I have installed AD, DNS, DHCP, and
am in the process of transferring FSMO roles. I have transferred all
except Infrastructure Master. I've read that you cannot transfer the
Infrastructure Master role to a GC. Since I have made the new DC a
GC, what is the best practice for this situation?
Thanks,

If this is a single domain, then there is no harm in making *all*
DC's also GCs. Otherwise the IM role holder should not also be a GC.
You could revert the GC status of the new DC if you have another GC
then move the IM role.
