Hello all, I'm a little confused here and having trouble organizing the servers and tasks in my domain. I've got two locations, loc1 and loc2 connected by VPN. We've gotten to the point now where the two locations don't need to communicate with each other, but they are still on the same domain (win2k domain) running AD. Here is what I'd like to accomplish:
-Change the domain name at loc1 since the name makes no sense there anymore, this is where the PDC is along with a Citrix server
-At loc2 I need to install a new Win2k3 Server (the is why the reorganization started) on the existing domain which will be the PDC for loc2
So my questions are how do I split this domain up, I'd like to keep it as neat and organized as possible? how do I rename loc1's domain without creating havoc? and what do I have to do to make the new server at loc2 the PDC (I tried yesterday but it died, I didn't realize the server at loc1 was the main AD source)?
Thank you!
