Excellent....<br />

Like a charm.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I installed my active directory controllers in reverse order.. my &quot;secondary&quot; controller I installed first, so it thinks it's the primary, but the box that I want to use as the &quot;primary&quot; AD controller was installed second so it isn't recognized as the primary controller. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I could have sworn I saw a way to switch out the roles.. I want to say &nbsp;&quot;how do I promote my backup controller to be the Primary&quot; but as I understand it, that's the old way.... &nbsp;But hopefully you get my drift.<br />
<br />
where do I go to make those changes?

Active Directory Controllers

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
