SBS 2003 migration to SBS 2011 - DCDIAG fails MachineAccount test
Hi,
I have an old SBS2003 SP2 server, set as DC; in the process of upgrading to a new SBS2011 machine (running under XenServer on a Dell T620). In doing my prep work, I ran DCDIAG on the old server (named CORP01) and got the following:
I checked, and yes, the top-level "Domain Controllers" list is empty. CORP01 shows up in /My Business/Computers/Product
Microsoft has a hotfix that supposedly fixes this issue, but when I run the hotfix on the server it says that "the Service Pack version of this system is newer than the update you are applying. There is no need to install this update."
How can I resolve this issue? Any tips?

......................... CORP01 failed test MachineAccount

Thanks fl_flyfishing, compdigit44, that's helpful. I'm just unsure, will moving the DC cause any issues with group policies or other stuff?
no issues.... just move it.
Agreed, move the DC then reboot just to be safe.. ;-)
