Goal:
My Goal is to Promote a 2012 Standard Server to Domain Control and then transfer all the FSMO Roles to it and decommission the SBS 2003 server as we will no longer be using exchange in this environment. There is also another secondary 2003 Standard Server that is acting as a domain controller on this network as well that we will be keeping in place for this year.
Problem:
When trying to promote server I get the following -
Upon checking the functional level this is what I see from the SBS 2003 server -
I have checked the A/D and there have been 2 old servers that were in this environment in the past that were server 2000. Neither of them exist at this time, and one of them failed and therefore was not removed with dcpromo. I think I have removed everything that has to do with them but I was wondering if there is an easy way to search through A/D to to verify. Thank you for any light that can be shed on this.
