DNS: Do you have Active Directory integrated zones? If so, add the DNS service to the other DC and you're done. GC: In AD Sites and Services, find the DC you want to be a GC and select it in the left pane. In the right pane, right click on NTDS settings and choose properties. Check off "Global Catalog". RID, PDC Emulator, and Infrastructure master: In AD Users and Computers, right click on "Active Directory Users and Computers" at the top of the left pane, and choose "Operations Masters." Change each on the tabs in the window that shows up. Hope this helps, Glenn Sullivan, MCSE+I MCDBA David Clark Company Inc. -----Original Message----- From: Rod Falanga [mailto:rfalanga@xxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2003 2:19 PM To: WINDOWS2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] Need to move PDC from one system to another I have 7 Windows 2000 Servers in my network. One of them is the PDC = emulator, RID and Infrastructure server. Well, something is beginning = to make an awful racket in the beastie (I fear it may be the hard = drive). Anyway, because I have several external Windows 9x clients = connect to our network, I cannot let the PDC emulator (and other things) = fail. =20 I've never moved these functions from one domain controller to another, = so I want to go over the steps. How do I move: 1) The DNS Server 2) Global Catalog Server 3) PDC Emulator 4) RID 5) Infrastructure from one DC to another DC on my network? (I only have Windows 2000 = Servers in the network, running in native mode not mixed mode.) =A0 Rod Falanga http://amci.unm.edu =A0 ================================== To Unsubscribe, set digest or vacation mode or view archives use the below link. http://thethin.net/win2000list.cfm ================================== To Unsubscribe, set digest or vacation mode or view archives use the below link. http://thethin.net/win2000list.cfm
