Hi everyone,
Ok so I had one Windows 2003 Domain Controller in my domain and I recently implemented Windows 2008 Domain Controller and transfered FSMO roles over to my new 2008 DC. Everything went well with tranferring FSMO roles. But every wednesday I perform maintenance reboot of all my servers. Now when I reboot my DC's my 2008 DC boots up first and I login but when I try and open up Active Directory Users and Computers I get an error and it doesnt load. But not when I bring my 2003 DC back online I can open up Active Directory Users and Computers on my windows 2008 DC. Now I thought after moving my FSMO roles from 2003 DC I can go ahead and demote this DC and have my forest with just 2008 DC's but apparently thats not the issue but looks like the 2008 DC's is relying on my 2003 DC. Can someone please help me. Thanks
