Hey guys,
I was trying to follow this tutorial:
youtube.com/watch?v=OG5K6B7hgRU
Everything was working fine up until the moment I joined the 2012 server to the domain of the 2003 server, and installed Active Directory on Server 2012 and promoted it. Everything seemed to go fine. Then starting from 18th minute of the video, going into Active Directory Users and Computers, following the steps to go into 'Operations Master' - as shown below [sorry can't post images yet]
Then when I went into Operations Master, It was supposed to show me that the current Operations Master was Server 2003 DC and ask me if I wanted to transfer to role to the 2012 server. However, It didn't and instead the option I got was transferring to the
same server that also is the Operation Master, the 2003 server.
I did manage to transfer the Domain Naming Operation Master on Active Directory Domains and Trusts to the 2012 server. However when I try to 'Change Active Directory Domain Controller', the server doesn't seem to list its own Domain Controller. I only see the
2003 server's domain controller listed. As shown below [sorry appears I can't post links yet]:
(Please note: I am aware it does say Current Directory Server is the DC of the 2012 server. It does not list it. Also when I try to change Operations Master in Active Directory Users and Computers - it gives me error saying current operations master is offline.)
Thanks in advance.
