Hi all,<br />
<br />
ive been running my FSMO as a file server for some time now and im not happy about that anymore as users keep downloading viruses (kaspersky gets them, but still dont like the thought of it) so i got a new server and have made that a domain controller.<br />
<br />
how do i transfer all the FMSO roles to the new DC then remove all current AD services and DNS from the soon to be file server<br />
<br />
i just want to do it all perfectly with no hiccups<br />
<br />
thanks for any advice
