Hello im currently running a network for a client that has three HP DL380G4
Servers running Windows Server 2003. They have 1 Domain Controller (DC1), 1
Exchange Server (MS1) & 1 ISA Server (ISA1). The DC1 Server has had many
issues over the last month that are ongoing so the client has decided to
replace ther server, upto now i have only installed new systems from the
ground up, this is my first time of replacing a current server with new
hardware, i need to know how much work is involved in this in regards to
Active Directory, links to the Exchange Server etc.

Any links to help guides would be great.

Hello Lee,

- On the old server open DNS management console and check that you are running
Active directory integrated zone (easier for replication, if you have more
then one DNS server)

- run replmon from the run line or repadmin /showrepl (only if more then
one DC exist), dcdiag and netdiag from the command prompt on the old machine
to check for errors, if you have some post the complete output from the command
here or solve them first. For this tools you have to install the support\tools\suptools.msi
from the 2003 installation disk.

- Install the new machine as a member server in your existing domain

- configure a fixed ip and set the preferred DNS server to the old DNS server
only

- run dcpromo and follow the wizard to add the 2003 server to an existing
domain

- if you are prompted for DNS configuration choose Yes (also possible that
no DNS preparation occur), then install DNS after the reboot

- for DNS give the server time for replication, at least 15 minutes. Because
you use Active directory integrated zones it will automatically replicate
the zones to the new server. Open DNS management console to check that they
appear

- if the new machine is domain controller and DNS server run again replmon,
dcdiag and netdiag on both domain controllers

- if you have no errors, make the new server Global catalog server, open
Active directory Sites and Services and then double-click sitename, double-click
Servers, click your domain controller, right-click NTDS Settings, and then
click Properties, on the General tab, click to select the Global catalog
check box (http://support.microsoft.com/?id=313994)

- Transfer, NOT seize the 5 FSMO roles to the new Domain controller (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324801)

- you can see in the event viewer (Directory service) that the roles are
transferred, also give it some time

- reconfigure the DNS configuration on your NIC of the 2003 server, preferred
DNS itself, secondary the old one

- if you use DHCP do not forget to reconfigure the scope settings to point
to the new installed DNS server

- export and import of DHCP database (if needed) (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/325473)

- backup WINS (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../cc727901.aspx)

- restore WINS (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../cc727960.aspx)

- in Exchange system Manger under "Recipients" reconfigure the "Recipients
update service" to the new DC/GC

Demoting the old DC (if needed)

- reconfigure your clients/servers that they not longer point to the old
DC/DNS server on the NIC

- to be sure that everything runs fine, disconnect the old DC from the network
and check with clients and servers the connectivity, logon and also with
one client a restart to see that everything is ok

- then run dcpromo to demote the old DC, if it works fine the machine will
move from the DC's OU to the computers container, where you can delete it
by hand. Can be that you got an error during demoting at the beginning, then
uncheck the Global catalog on that DC and try again

- check the DNS management console, that all entries from the machine are
disappeared or delete them by hand if the machine is off the network for ever

- also you have to start AD sites and services and delete the old servername
under the site, this will not be done during demotion

Thanks for that it will be a real help form me but i have two questions
following that.

1. The old server will be removed from the network so the new server will be
the DC/AD Server but i have to give that server the same ip address as the
one i am removing from the system, is that ok and do i run it on a temporary
address then change it once the old server is off the network?

2. Is it best practice to give the new domain controller a different name to
the old one even when the old server is no longer on the network?

Thanks Again

Hello Lee,

AD is based on DNS, so there is no need for changing the ip to the old one.
If you still will do it change it and check that the record in DNS zones
will also update.

Using the same name for the new DC creates additional workload for you and
requires a temp DC to remove the old one and free the name for the new one.

Best regards

Hello Meinolf please find below the test results foe netdiag and dcdiag, i
would be grateful if you could check them for me also how do i check if im
running an Active Directory Intergrated Zone?


Also these tests were taken when the server was online but for the last 3
weeks it seems to go offline every 2 hours and needs rebooting to restore
connectivity with the network - i have installed new network card and dealt
with all errors that were in event viewer - this server was due to be
replaced in May but as i could not seem to resolve the issue we have decided
to replace it now.

Hello Lee,

Open DNS management console and highlight the Forward/Reverse lookup zone,
in the right pane you will see type.

From dcdiag, for the errors displayed there under "systemlog" check the event
viewer system log. There you should find errors, which are maybe resolved.
To make sure you can save and delete the systemlog and wait 2 days, then
run dcdiag again. Rest seems to be fine.

From netdiag, the servers are not in the internet i hope, because you didn't
use private ip range. Why 25.31.11.2 from a different ip range? Is it your
ISP? For domain connectivity use only domain internal DNS servers, so point
the server to the DC/DNS that should be removed.


If not done i would also update to SP2 and latest patches.

Best regards

Meinolf Weber

Thanks for that the IP you mention is as follows, the client is part of the
Ministry of Defence and are on RLI Military protected Broadband and we were
advised to point to that, do you think it is serving no purpose doing that as
we dont need internet connectivity on the servers?

Hello Lee,

If your higher level orders to use that DNS server as secondary, use it.
For the new DC/DNS i would only use the existing DC/DNS 25.14.168.11 as preferred
until AD/DNS replication is done complete, after that change the ip to itself
as preferred and use the other DNS server as secondary.

Then for testing the new server from all clients, reconfigure them for the
new DNS, disconnect the old one (unplug network cable one or two days) and
check if everything is still running. Do not forget to make the DC also Global
catalog.

If all tests are ok reconnect the old server and you can start demoting it,
change the ip's etc.

Best regards

Meinolf Weber

Hello thanks for a brilliant guide, it helped me do the job really well but i
have a small issue after demoting the old DC, it is still on the network as a
member server but the client accounts are locking out all of the time, any
idea where the problem could be?

Thanks

Lee
