Guest Scott Micale Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 I am looking to decommission one of my domain controllers running Win2K3 server on it. It is 1 of 3 server in this child domain. Can I just DCPROMO it and be done or are there steps I need to take prior to DCPROMO'ing it?

Guest Scott Micale Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 Re: DCPROMO a server Yes my global catalog is on another server in the child domain. Can you explain how to move the FSMO roles on this server or see which roles it is doing?

Guest Scott Micale Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Re: DCPROMO a server On a little different note. You are not suppose to have a DC be a global catalog server if it the owner of the Information Master role. What do you do if your child domain is the only DC in the domain. Should it be a GC or just not have one for that child domain?
