I would prefer to wait more then hours and see all the records are available in windows 2008 active directory. or you can force replicate all record if necessary. Now transfer all the FSMO roles from windows 2003 AD domain controller to windows 2008 AD domain controller.

Reply Jose Lopez says: November 18, 2011 at 12:30 AM Current my 2003 DC holds the Schema Master and Domain Naming Master, but my Exchange 2003 Server holds the PDC, RID, and Infrastructure. Can I still move all FSMO (5) to my new Windows 2008 DC and no problems with my 2003 Exchange Server? Reply Raihan Al-Beruni says: November 18, 2011 at 1:27 PM yes you can move all FSMO role without any trouble at all. Exchange contact GC server to get all the information it needs. Make win2k8 server GC and wait for replication. in short no problem migrating fsmo Reply Zay says: January 18, 2012 at 4:14 AM Good tutorial, however, I had to use adprep32 in order to get the command to run. Just thought I might add that in case anyone had trouble simply getting adprep to run.

I already performed the first phase, and ready for the transfer of the FSMO roles, but I had to make the new W2K8 the new DHCP by transferring the DHCP setting and activating the Role. DNS seems to be okay, but what about Printing Services, I guess that I have to recreate the PrintServer? Can you elaborate on that transition. Great document. Reply Santosh Yadav says: March 14, 2012 at 9:45 PM Hi Raihan, Really very nice and complete step-by-step guide. I have few queries and suggestions from you. We have two offices in two cities Pune and Mumbai, Pune is main hub location and Mumbai is branch office. Pune Office setup (Hub location) 100 Users: Leased Line Internet connection ( 3Mbps) 1) Windows 2003 R2 Active Directory server 2) Mail (Sendmail Linux) 3) FTP Server (Linux) ( Pune ADS integration ) 5) File server(Linux) ( Pune ADS integration ) 6) Open Fire Chat server ( Pune ADS integration ) Mumbai Office (Branch Office-30 Users) : 4 Mbps DSL Internet connection 1) Windows 2008 R2 Active Directory Server Presently there is no connection between both the above Active Directories. But offices are connected using site to site IPSec VPN using firewalls. Some users are traveling between both offices on a regular basis. All the above servers are at hub location and having access to all users including branch office. We want to achieve following goals : 1) Upgrade/Migrate existing windows 2003 active directory server to Windows 2008 R2 64 bit server on better and new server hardware. 2) Want to create a central user database for Pune and Mumbai offices, So one user can avail on both location. 3) How can I change or convert branch office Win 2008 R2 Active Directory server to Read Only Domain Controller and it will be part of New Active Directory Server of Pune office. I need your help and suggestions to achieve the above goals.

Thanks for the step by step procedures. I have some quires in the migration process.for our infrastructureor please propose the proper upgrade procedure for migration/upgrade from 2k3 to 2k8 DC. We have 30 DCs across few countries.These DCs are integrated with DNS role.Some have DHCP & file print server role. So here we have to upgrade DCs with few existing roles and few will be fresh 2008 DCs. here Schema is already extended for forest as root domain is running on win 2k8. we have to upgrade our exchange envt from 2003 to 2010 also. a.local | | b.a.local , g.a.local x.a.local | target.b.a.local this is the forest structure of our AD We have only rights on target.b.a.local a.local is already in win2k8 DC role we have to upgrade target.b.a.local DCs from win2K3 to win2K8 DCs.

should be done? Do we need to do these before demoting the source server? 2. Testing the Migration: How can I make sure that the migration has been successful before demoting the source/old server? thank you Reply Raihan Al-Beruni says: April 2, 2013 at 11:14 AM 1. Since DC changed. What: Change your DHCP configuration. Change DNS record in all servers. When immediately changing to new. do it before demoting old DC. 2. run netdom query fsmo and http://microsoftguru.com.au/2009/09/01/active-directory-healthcheck/ , http://microsoftguru.com.au/2011/05/28/microsoft-active-directory-best-practice/ and http://microsoftguru.com.au/2012/07/29/microsoft-active-directory-best-practice-part-ii/ Reply Aidin says: April 3, 2013 at 2:01 PM Thanks for the prompt reply. What do you mean by Change DNS record in all servers.? Do you mean the IP configurations in member servers? Raihan Al-Beruni says: April 4, 2013 at 4:20 PM You need to change primary DNS record in all member servers. your new Doamin controller should point itself as primary DNS server. rln says: May 9, 2013 at 12:40 PM I am in process of migrating existing 32 bit code to 64 bit. Currently this application is working with windows 2k3 server ADDS. When I upgrade/migrate to 64 bit win 2k8server ADDS, what implications will it have on my 64 bit code?

Reply Bintabubakar says: September 15, 2013 at 2:56 PM Hi i need help urgently followed the steps above to replace our old dc. Demoted the old one and took it offline as its not needed anymore but I cannot edit group policies I get an error message that Says i might not have sufficient privileges and that the path cannot be found. I can however create new polices but when I try to do gpupdate I get an error message again that polices cant be updated. Tried to force update but that didnt help either. Thank u in advance Reply Raihan Al-Beruni says:
