SBS 2003 Migration Prep - DCDIAG fails machine test - The current DC is not in domain controller OU
I'm preparing a SBS 2003 server for migration to SBS 2011 which was setup a long time ago by persons unknown.
When running DCDIAG as part of the preparation for the migration steps it fails in machine account test;
The current DC is not on the domain controller's OU
Now I understand that this is because the domain controller OU does not contain the server computer.
My AD looks like this;
domain.local
builtin
computers
Domain controllers (empty)
and usual containers
then
company name container
computers
desktops
laptops
servers (the server object is in this container)
My question is can I ignore the dcdiag error and continue regardless or do I need to move the server object to the domain controllers container?

can get on with migration steps now thanks very much.

Excellent news. Out of curiosity - are you using the MS migration guide or Demazter's (or another one)?
Your help has saved me hundreds of hours of internet surfing.
