Can some one help.. I have a cleint who has two Compaq
servers with Windows 2000 one is a DC and the other is a
member server. I want to make the member server a DC and
demote the DC so I can shut it off. When I Dcpromo the
member server to primary I want all of the usernames to
transfer. I can than transfer the data which will be
easy. Thanks for your input.

Hi Peter,

1. run dcpromo on the member server to make it a DC in the domain
2. After verifying the newly promoted DC is working correctly, run dcpromo
on the old DC and demote it to a member server.
The FSMO roles will automatically transfer during the DCpromo process.


Thanks,
