trying to help my tech with a problem migrating DC from standard server 2003 to standard server 2008R2. Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated!
Firewalls off on both machines.
When attempting to reach the DC in server2003 "server is offline" error message appears.
Ran dcdiag in server2003:
'dcdiag' is not recognized as an internal or external command... etc.
Ran dcdiag on Server2008:
Directory Server Diagnosis:
Performing initial setup
trying to find home server...
