This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
This sounds like you have installed a CAS.
Discovery method Supported locations
Active Directory Forest Discovery •Central administration site
• Primary Site
Active Directory Group Discovery • Primary site
Active Directory System Discovery • Primary site
Active Directory User Discovery • Primary site
Heartbeat Discovery • Primary site
Network Discovery • Primary site
• Secondary site
If you only under 50,000 users you don't need a CAS - it will over-complicate your life.
You don't need to uninstall/reinstall. You can build a new Primary SP1 and do an SP1 to SP1 migration. From what I understand, the CAS is more of a traffic warden, so all the info you want is on the primary, so that's what you migrate.
