Hi Everyone,
I am new to this forum and need help with the following.
I would like to take are curren domaiin (server 2008 standard 32bit) and migrate to a new server box with server 2008 r2.
Keeping the same domain name and computer name if possible.
I than want to take the old server and turn it into a backup domain.
Can someone give me a breakdown on the steps I need to do to perform this task.

Thank You!
Bob Giordano
 
Hi,

You could do that but is not a great idea (too much work).

Why not simply create a new DC in the same domain with Global Catalog configured? Once done, you can use netdom to rename the old domain controller. Is not a good idea to change the name of a DC with the name of an old one.
