I am getting it during the DNS options while doing the Promo
Click through it it's normal in most setups as the parent zone is not something that's yours.

How did your DC promotion go? Is it working now?
-
Pretty sure it is all working. I need to fix a few DNS settings but that's related to the hardware firewall. Other than that it seems to be working/replicating.

Awesome, glad to hear that the project worked. Go MangoLassi team!

Yes, Thank you all for the help. The confirmation that it was "really that easy" was exactly what I needed!

Sweet - a tech question answered!!!

This is my week to resurrect threads from the dead.
I am doing this as well this week.
Currently have 2 physical DCs running 2003. One of them is also our data server. (I know, I know, on all these fronts.)
Anywho...
I have installed a fresh 2003 Server, and am planning to promote that, and move all the roles to it. Then demote the other two DCs and P2V them.
So, hoping it really is "just that simple."

I did something similar a while back with ancient win2k3 server serving AD, DNS, DHCP, file, print services. I demoted, removed AD, removed dns and dhcp. Then i p2v'd it.
It really is very simple to do. -

It really is very simple to do.Yeah, it was pretty simple promoting it thus far.
Now I am going to move all the FSMO roles to it.
