edu_infra Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 Hi, I am trying to migrate the domain controller of Windows Server 2012 R2 (DC01) to another Server 2012 R2 (DC02). I already installed Active Directory Domain Services on DC02, and when I go to Change Directory Server appears the two servers (DC01 and DC02) as available, but when I went to DC01 is not appearing the destination server (DC02) only appears DC01. What could I am doing wrong? Thanks
kmount Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 You installed the ADDS role on DC02 but did you run the process to add the new domain controller to your domain?
edu_infra Posted July 5, 2014 Author Posted July 5, 2014 You installed the ADDS role on DC02 but did you run the process to add the new domain controller to your domain? Yes, I passed troungh the wizard of Deployment Configuration, Add a domain controller to an existing domain, etc.. All the objects of AD users and computers were replicated to DC02... Maybe could be something in DNS of DC01..don't know
kmount Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 Sorry, I misread your first post where you said from DC2 you could see both. In AD Users and Computers on DC01 can you see DC02 here? Has sysvol replicated between them?

Has sysvol replicated between them? Yes, DC02 is in Domain Controller folder (OU) in AD of DC01. About sysvol, I don't know, since I had just used the wizard to deploy.

LukeC Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 You can check your replication by going into cmd and type repadmin /showrepl this will show you last time the CDs replicated to each other and what was replicated.

techy32 Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Can you check the DNS entries on both servers. It seem to be DNS error....
LukeC Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 check your dns details on both DCs Nics and make sure the DNS entries point to each other Preferred and alternate address, one should be its own ip and the other should be the other DNS server (assuming both DCS on DNS servers in an ad integrated zone). Check your A and CNAME records in DNS. You can also run dcdiag in cmd to see if that gives you any more clues.

Just changed that and at the same moment the windows "Change Directory Server" appeared the DC02 correctly. Thank you so much!
johnhart96 Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Did you change the Operations master and the Forrest Root controller to the other one, because I think this does not replicate in the SYSVOL ???
