Guest swu30@hotmail.com Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 I have an aging AD server that I would like to remove from the domain. I have its replacement in place. DNS and DHCP duties have been migrated to the new box, AD is running on the new box and has been for two weeks now. How do I properly remove the old AD server from the domain? Does it make any difference that this server was the first AD server in the domain? This is a W2k AD domain. Thx in advance for any help/advice!
Guest Meinolf Weber Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 Re: Properly Remove AD Server? Hello swu30@hotmail.com, Before demoting the old server you have to move the 5 FSMO roles to the new machine and also make it a Global catalog server. How to view and transfer FSMO roles: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324801 Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. > I have an aging AD server that I would like to remove from the domain. > I have its replacement in place.

Ok, I've done all that and it all looks good. How do I move the License Server from my old AD server to the new one? That might be the last step. Thx again for any advice.
