Hi Jed,

Start Server Manager on either machine and select the BDC in the machine
list. From the Computer menu select promote to Primary Domain Controller.

I'm not sure I understand why having the webserver on a BDC instead of the
PDC will make any difference other than for performance reasons and if you
are doing this for performance then you might want to consider moving the
webserver to a machine that is not a PDC or BDC.

Hi All,

I think someone covered this before and I missed the thread.

I've got two servers, WEBSERVER and KONTORSERVER both in the same
domain. WEBSERVER is the Primary Domain Controller and KONTORSERVER
is the Backup Domain Controller.

Now, I didn't set this network up and am rather horrified to
discover that the publicly accessible WEBSERVER is the PDC.

What I want to do is swap these two around, ie. PDC becomes BDC and
BDC becomes PDC.

Anyone done this and can tell me how? Got and URLs?
