Post by ChrisI attempted to the seizure, I skipped the Infrastructure master, becuase i
believe the global catalog is on the domain.
However, I got an error for each attempt to seize every role.
I am about to run the EBS, i will post the results as a reply to this post.

Post by Susan BradleyYou can seize the roles remotely and it shouldn't disrupt the business.
I want you to get those role back on the SBS then run the EBSPrep tool
to see why this is barfing. Turn of patching/updating in the network
while this is going on.
Post by ChrisHi Susan,
Will i be able to do this remotely? or do I have to be present while this is
happening?
Also, will there be any downtime or disrubt the business?
I am assuming these steps are to bring the health of the SBS2003 back to
normal(?) so i can preform the migration from scratch?
Thanks...
Post by Susan Bradley, CPA aka Ebitz - SBS RocksSeize the roles back to the SBS box and then run the EBSprep tool.

Post by AllenMWell chris I was hoping I could help resolve your issues and had thought the
answer key was the problem. I misintepetted your email regarding this
because of the way you worded it. I've done this process about a month ago
and had no issues. All I can suggest is that you reread the process and
double check all the steps. You never know what may come about the second
time around. Just another quick stupid question here. You are aware that SBS
2008 can only be installed on 64-bit hardware? I'm lost for any other
suggestions so good luck and go over the documentation again
"slowly".................
Post by ChrisI copy the answer file that was created from the sbs2003 on to a flash
drive..
Then i plug it into the destination server(sbs2008)...
i put the dvd sbs2008 installation disk in, it runs the processes, it finds
the answer file from the flash drive just fine!
however i still get the error...sigh.
Post by AllenMI believe you need to insert the removable device with the answer file onto
the destination server (sbs 2008). Check you documentation again.
Post by ChrisHi Allen,
I am not trying to join sbs2003 to the domain...the error comes from the
sbs2008 migration.
I followed the migration guide from Microsoft word per word...
When I insert the SBS2008 DVD in the destination server(sbs2008)...it
goes
through the process of installing, it finds my answer file from the
source
server(sbs2003) that i have on a removable media, then at some point the
fatal error of DCPROMO_JOINDOMAIN comes up....
Post by AllenMwhy are you trying to join the SBS 2003 server to the domain? What
procedures did you follow for this migration?
Post by ChrisHi Merv,
I am trying to migrate to SBS2008(new equipment not using odl
equipment)
"FATAL: DcPromo_JoinDomain: The server was not promoted to a domain
controller"
I only have one NIC on the source server, and the following solution
-Domain Controller Security Policy
-Local Policies
-User Rights Assignment
-Enable Computer and user accounts to be trusted for delegation
-Add domainname\Domain Admins
-gpupdate /force
-Restart new installation.
when i go to sbs2003 and try to perform the above i get an error
that
says
"failed to open the group policy object. You may not have
appropriate
rights"
Details: The specified domain either does not exist or cannot be
contacted".
I am unsure how to proceed with the migration, i am and a stand
still
right
now.
From sbs2008, when i click finish after the error of the
dcpromo_joindomain,
it takes me to the sbs2008 desktop.
Please help me go past this point...do i reinstall and attempt the
migration
again?(tried 5 times already) or can i still migrate with the
current
state?
also, I ran the BPA on sbs2003, and everything went well there,
however
after i ran the sourcetool and the answer file, sbs2003 exchange is
not
starting all services...such as exchange server. I have to manually
eneable
them from services.msc.
please help me out...
Thank you

other

problem either. This is from the last part of dcpromoui error
