Hi Guy's,
We have 2 physical DC and both are 2008 R2. we have to remove both of the DC's becuse both servers have problem with one of thier none OS drives and we cannot backup the systemstate anymore.
I did install a server 2012 R2 on a Hyper-v Host and made it the 3rd DC and almost week later move all of the FSMO roles from server 2008 R2 to this server 2012 R2. and it looks like login and opening shares is working without any issue.
The domain level is 2008 and forest level is 2003.
Now we want to decommission the old DC that had the FSMO roles. I made usre that the DNS of the clients/servers in the domain are pointgin to the new server 2012 R2 DC.
Can I now run the dcpromo on the DC 2008 R2 that we want to remove?
Thanks
Shahin
