Hi, there:

Could you tell me the steps how to replace a PDC in NT4 domain? I want to move the PDC to a new box.

Thanks!



 
This is pretty straightforward. Bring the new box into the domain as a BDC. If you have a large domain wait a little while for the PDC to transfer all info to the BDC.

Go into server manager on the BDC; select the BDC in the window; select computer in the menu. select promote to primary domain controller; and that's it.

Wait until it is finished and you will see that the new box will be identified as the PBC.
