We are a small school with only one server. I just want to make sure I do this correctly. I'm replacing my DC with a new machine. 1) Configure new server 2) join domain and promote to a DC 3) Demote old DC Can I test the new DC by just shutting down the old DC prior to demoting? I would hate to lose all the student login information. Can I use robocopy.exe to move all the folders with permissions to the new box? Is there a way to move my DHCP settings? Is there a way to move print server printers? Any help would be appreciated. jim
