Here's our plan (POOH is the current PDC, NEWPOOH is the machine replacing it):
1. Promote NEWPOOH to PDC (POOH will be automatically demoted to BDC)
2. Synchronize domain and wait 20 minutes
3. Shutdown POOH, unplug from network and synchronize domain (POOH will automatically be removed from Server Manager)
4. Delete all WINS records and wait 20 minutes
5. Change NEWPOOH IP addresses and wait 20 minutes
6. Change NEWPOOH name and wait 20 minutes
7. Synchronize domain controllers
Does this look OK? Thanks a lot!
