Hi Everyone,

I noticed that I was getting a few hits a day from people looking for the AD Health Check, so I've decided to resurrect the post on the new Wordpress site.

I am trying to run the dcdiag/test: dcpromo test and wondered which operation should be used in the testing that is relevant to SBS 2003 Premium?

/NewForest

/NewTree

/ChildDomain

/ReplicaDC

Thanks in advance.

@Barry,

What is failing? Althought the command is DCDIAG /childdomain - no "/test:"

thanks

DCDIAG /test:ChildDomain is failing when ran on my SBS 2003. Is this to be expected if there is no child domain in place?

The command DCDIAG /test:DcPromo /e /v requires a dnsdomain and an operation at the end. I'm not sure what command to use for a migration AD test.

Thanks,

Fred

I started to write about this at SBS 2003 to SBS 2008 migration thoughts and issues and Active Directory

Jett - since the step is prepartory only and our source is SBS 2003 why is Server 2008 command syntax needed at all?

Good additions, David. There are some changes to the last two commands for Windows Server 2008:

dcdiag /test:DcPromo /DnsDomain:domain.company.com /Operation /e /v

dcdiag /test:RegisterInDNS /DnsDomain:domain.company.com /<Operation> /e /v

/<Operation > may be /NewForest, /NewTree, /ChildDomain or /ReplicaDC
