Win2003 VMWare DC/File server demote/promote
I have a 2003 DC VM that is also a file server/DNS/DHCP box. I need to demote and promote as it was restored from an 12 day old SAN replica and is having issues replicating. I am wondering if the demotion/promotion process will have an effect on file permissions, anything else, etc...

Thanks Mike - it does not hold any FSMO roles. I will look at the link you provided.
no problem...and just remember those steps are a last resort if the DC doesn't demote gracefully.

Everyone - thanks.
Mike - thank you, it did not demote gracefully like you suggested. That is why I gave you the most points. Thanks!
