Help replacing old Windows 2003 SBS DC with a Win2008 Standard Edition DC
- by Chris
Objective:
Trying to replace a Windows 2003 SBS domain controller with a windows server 2008 Standard Edition Domain Controller.
What I did:
used ADPREP. Then all user accounts and OUs are successfully replicated into the 2008 server. I have also managed to transfer all the DC roles (operations master,schema,pdc) into the Server 2008.
I have also used NETDOM QUERY FSMO . It displayed that all the roles transferred to the 2008 server.
Problem:
When I am trying to demote the windows 2003 SBS server using DCPROMO, the message is “No other Active Directory for this domain can be contacted”. I also tried shutting down the 2003 server. Users can login into the domain but they have trouble finding SHARED folders.
Can someone help me find out what I did wrong ? Need a little push in the right direction here. Thank you very much ?
