Switch to new domain controller

Asked by jstonend in Active Directory, Windows 2003 Server, Network Operations

Tags: , ,

Hello,

In my system right now, I have an old server and a new server.  The old server existed by itself, acted as the domain controller for active directory, held the DHCP, DNS and all the files... This server is going to be replaced with a new machine.

Over the past week, I brought up the new server, transferred DHCP and the files to that server and it is now hosting those files.  I ran DC Promo on this new server and if I understand it correctly, it is the backup domain controller...

My problem is that I'd like to switch these roles and I don't know how to do this.  On the old server now, if I go to Active Directory Users and Groups I see all my current users, under printers I see all my shared printers that are used by my users (99% network printers that users added by getting them from AD)... I do not see these things on my new server so I am nervous that these things will stop working...

Any advice or comments would be appreciated...
