Windows 2008 R2 Domain controller

[guv]

We are running a windows 2003 native mode domain. I have just added a

windows 2008 R2 domain controller to our domain successfully. I want to

transfer the fsmo roles to this server, are there any issues with

transferring these roles to a windows 2008 DC in a windows 2003 domain. Any

issues i should be aware of.

Hello guv,



Before moving them run the support tools dcdiag /v and repadmin /showrepl

on each DC to check for errors. If both are error free you can safely transfer

the FSMO roles to the new one, i would also make it DNS and GC if not already

done.



Best regards
