This morning to promo'd out what I believed to be a NT BDC promoted to
PDC, then upgraded to Win2000.

The demotion I guess went ok, users can log in, no calls etc . .

But when I look at our AD-DNS, the old DC is still listed as a name server.

When I look at ADSites and Services, he's still listed in my site, but
there is no NTDS listed.

If I look at Computer Mangement\Sessions there are a handful of users
connected, but no open files.

And what's the deal in Sites and Services when links aren't
automatically created? I forget. But I have a handful of links that
were manually created...

So - should I wait for my four sites to replicate for that old DC to
drop out of DNS, and sites and services or do I have a problem??

Tia,
RandyH

Re: DCPROMO

I didn't cross post, if you read correctly it was different.

and if this group was more active, I wouldn't have had to post my
question to another group

Hey thanks for being so nice and helpful....good thing we have ppl like
you in the industry.

Re: DCPROMO

Hello RandyH,

The difference was your subject, the content was the same.
