Transfer FSMO roles in Active Directory - Windows Server 2k3

[FN-GM]

Hi

 

I have got some new Domain Controllers for my network, and I will be needing to transfer the FSMO roles over to the new server. The old server is still online.

 

I have been reading how to transfer the roles here http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-6345_11-5081138.html I want to double check this is the correct way to do it. I am thinking of using the GUI method in AD in part one.

 

Thanks

Just be glad your DC is online to transfer, had to seize the roles in the past, and that was a painful experience
