hello,
if had read articles, requried steps outlined new os dc.
and demote:
- reconfigure clients/servers not longer point old dc/dns server on nic
- sure runs fine, disconnect old dc network , check clients , servers connectivity, logon , 1 client restart see ok
- run dcpromo demote old dc, if works fine machine move dc's ou computers container, can delete hand. can got error during demoting @ beginning, uncheck global catalog on dc , try again
- check dns management console, entries machine disappeared or delete them hand if machine off network ever
- have start ad sites , services , delete old servername under site, not done during demotion
