I have to setup a temporary server at one office and it needs to be a domain controller. In a few weeks I'll have a permanent machine to replace this temporary with. I have some programs that map folders via UNC paths and it's easier from that standpoint to keep the temporary server name the same as the permanent one. However, I'm not sure if that's the best way to do it from a DC standpoint . I've yet to need to replace an existing AD DC with a new machine, so I'm not familiar with the process. Would it be as basic as demoting the temporary server, deleting it from AD Users/Computers and then putting in my new machine in place and running dcpromo on it?
