You would go to your SItes and Services snapin, click on your Site, then
rt-click on the NTDS settings in the results window on the right, then
properties. You can change it in there if you have mutliple DCs in the site.
You can also change the Bridgehead in there too.

Ace,

I didn't think this was possible with Windows 2000 (I haven't tried 2003);
you can certainly view the ISTG holder using the procedure you describe but
AFAIK it is not possible to change it.

The two ways I know about is via a script (Robbie Allen has such a script in
his Active Directory Cookbook) and using adsiedit (as discussed on the
newsgroup a while back)

A link to the thread is

A link to the script and the also the adsiedit procedure is discussed there.

Best Wishes
