Current win2000 domain, migrate to win2003, remove old PDC
1. the old server is domain control, and file & print services, so nothing earth shattering....
2. all files moved to the new server & utilizing active directory permissions
3. my idea is to promote the 2003 to domain controller, then demote the 2000 which will migrate over settings & control.. then i can decommission the 2000 server
4. when i type dcpromo, i select additional dc for existing domain, log in with admin credentials. it will not accept DOMAINNAME.com only DOMAINNAME. i hit next, and it asks for the full dns name of the existing domain.. this is where i get hung up... you can browse domainname.com, but it will not accept it... the error i get:
"An Active domain controller for the domain DOMAINNAME.com could not be connected. Ensure the dns domain name is typed correctly." in details:error code 0x0000232b RCODE_NAME_ERROR
i'm fairly good at this.. but stumped by this one...
if there is an easier way.. all i need to do is migrate 10 existing PCs, and login accounts to the new server, whether it's a new domain, or old, i dont really care
THANKS!
