 Posted: Wed May 17, 2006 12:27 am Post subject: Move Domain Controller to New Hardware |
 |
|
I need to move a Domain Controller to new hardware.
Nothing else is changing, some OS, similar sized hard drives, both have
dual procs, etc.
Can I just use ghost, make an image and restore the image to the new server?
I do have a multiple domain controllers. This server just functions as
a Domain controller, no DNS, WINS, etc.
Thanks

Hi,
Please don't use Ghost!
The recommended steps:
1. Install OS on the new Server.
2. Promote the new Server to DC.
3. Transfer FSMO from old DC to new DC.
4. Demote old DC.
5. Remove old DC out of domain.

Hope this helps.

Hi,
If so, I'm afraid you need a third temp DC.
1. Move old DC to temp DC
2. Demote old DC and move out of domain.
3. Add new DC with the same name
4. Move DC from temp DC to new DC.
