Hi all,
I walked in on a new job, they had two DCs Win 2K and one has been dead for
weeks, no backups…. One DC is operational. I bought a new server Win 2003 R2
server and all hot fixes are installed. Can not join the domain because the
failed DC name is the same is the new box….I thought I should force removing
the old DC name from AD and seize any FSMO role to the existing DC which is
win 2k advanced server. I plan to run adprep / forestprep and domainprep and
run dcpromo on the new box.
I would like to know if you think my plan will work before I start this
process, and learn how to remove a filed DC from active directory…
Thanks
