Transferring FSMO roles from 2003 SBS to 2012 R2

i in final stages of drawn-out migration sbs2003 exchange 2010 (soon 2013) , windows server 2012 r2. took time, went fine way through raising domain functional level, adding new dc, migrating exchange and removing exchange 2003 sbs 2003. done several weeks ago. gave plenty of time work (and me getting other projects done) before returned finalize this.

now @ final step: transferring 5 fsmo roles 2003 sbs server 2012 r2 dc before shut down sbs2003 box good.

being careful, previewing each element:

• active directory users & computers → right-click domain, click operations masters. on each tab (rid, pdc, infrastucture), correctly see old sbs2003 server current operations master , new 2012 r2 dc 1 role transferred when click change. have not done yet, though.
• active directory domains , trusts → right-click active directory domains , trusts, click operations masters. here see old sbs2003 server both current domain naming operations master , 1 role transferred.

did perhaps miss earlier in migration process, or new server appear transfer-to domain naming operations master server after transfer first 3 fsmo roles above?

i chicken , not want transfer of 5 roles until sure correct here.
