2003 DC Rebuild

[SpuffMonkey]

Over the summer, I'm going to rebuild both of our DCs. Briefly, I'm going to

1 - Transfer the FSMO roles from existing main DC to other
2 - Transfer the GC
3 - I think the DNS should be OK, as other DC should have a copy
4 - DHCP - any suggestions on this?
5 - DC Promo down
6 - Rebuild
7 - reverse process above
8 - Reinstall misc software

Then rebuild the other DC

Have I forgotten anything?

Have you got Certificate Authority Services on there as well?

Don't forget to bring your lucky rabbit's foot and the backup media

Dunno - does it show in the services list?

Interesting.. what's the relevance? Doing the same thing over the summer and one of our DC's has this installed.

All of your certificates will be invalid?

OK thanks, but the only certs I use are for secure webmail,vle etc.. issued by a 3rd party. Are there certificates for domain controllers that I need to be aware of?
