Hi ellandrd,

You will need to transfer the FSMO roles.

Note Do not put the Infrastructure Master role on the same domain controller as the global catalogue <----- what happens if there is only server as in this case .

I have so far trasfered the global catlog to the mails sevrer and transfered operations master to the mail as well.

So from the post above all i need now is everythin but infrastruce master yes/no?

thanks

NO - if there's only one server you need all the roles, and global cat. Make sure you transfer Infrastructure Master
