Join, 2003 Domain with a 2008 R2 server error
I have added a 2008R2 server into a 2003 domain i have moved all the roles off the 2003 DC (as we are taking it out of service) and on to the new 2008R2 when making the Infrastructure operations master role i get this message, all other roles have moved over. what do i need to do about the Infrastructure role?
Error:
2008R2.domain.local is a global catalog (GC) server. The infrastructure operations master role should not be transferred t a GC server. Are you certain you want to transfer the infrastructure operations master role to this GC server?

as recomended by austincomp, if its a single domain then ignore the message. it is applicable to forest with multiple domains or child domains in the enterprise
If some of the forest root domain controllers are not configured as global catalog servers, then move the infrastructure master role to a domain controller that is not a global catalog server and ensure that the server is never configured as such. The infrastructure master role should not reside on a global catalog server unless all domain controllers in the domain are global catalog servers.
