Replacing DC of same name?
i'm sure has been asked before, can't find relevant step step documents. i have dc running 2008 r2 want replace new hardware, stay @ 2008 r2 now. currently, holds fsmo roles domain. what steps migrate new hardware same name , ip? after demoting old server, have go sites , services and/or adsi edit remove orphans or should done automatically when demoting? below, assumptions. please let me know if i'm missing something. any appreciated.
1. move fsmo roles dc
2. demote old dc , rename server "servernameold"
3. on new machine change name original , swap ip's, new server has ip of old server.
4. dcpromo new machine , install dns , win's (yeah, still use win's)
indeed there few threads on this, advice take system state backup of dc, check applications dependent on dc check/note down details.
if vm makesure have snapshot , backups handy incase of restore.
