Hello,
I would like to start by saying that my knownledge of Domain
Controllers and Active Directory is rather limited but I am tech
savy.
Let me lay out what we currently have. We have a rack of about 8
servers, 6 of them are Dell servers running windows 03' and the other
two are old Compaq servers running windows server 00'. The two Compaq
servers are (DC1) and (SVmail) and they both are domain controllers
running active directory 2000. What we want to do is deactivate these
two servers and move the active directory services onto one of the
windows 2003 servers (SVGraphics).
Originally SVMail had Exchange 2000 on it but we upgraded to exchange
03' I beleive and moved exchange off of that server and on to
(SVProject). So now the only thing that SVMail does is act as a domain
controller. As far as DC1 goes basically the only thing left on that
server is the domain controller as well.
We have about 50 user in active directory currently.
What I need help with is the steps I should take to do this migration
off of DC1 and SVMail on to SVGraphics.
Step by step processes would be best but at this point I will
take what ever advice is offered.
Feel free to ask me any questions you have.
Thanks,
Chandler
