Dickson Domain Controller Migration

Today I went ahead and moved the services from DDSN-EASY to 309-DC1.

Here’s what was done:

• Changed the login script ddsn-logon.bat to point to 309-dc1 instead of ddsn-easy
• Shared all the appropriate folders (Group$ and User$), and set the appropriate NTFS permissions.
• Installed DNS and DHCP service
• Setup DNS for a Read/Write AD Integrated primary zone
• Installed DHCP Server and imported the settings from ddsn-easy with the following command:

netsh dhcp server import D:\dhcpdatabase.txt all






• Changed the primary DNS pointer to 10.40.175.3 (309-DC1), and kept the pointer to 10.40.175.1 active (for now)



• Deauthorized the DHCP server on DDSN-EASY, and disabled the DHCP Server Service.



• Authorized the DHCP server on 309-DC1.



• Placed the updated PrintMigConfig.ini in the NETLOGON directory. This will allow the users logging in to get their printers replaced with the new ones on the next logon.



• This change was made on 03/26/2009 @ 12:00pm
• Target: ddsn-easy and 309-dc1
