In fact, both in the Master Operations case and in the one below it is shown only in the name SRV1. A BACKUP DOMAIN CONTROLLER (BDC) is a server that contains only a copy of the. I get to open Active Directory Users and computers in Domain Controller I see both the SRV1 and SRV2 servers but when I go to the Operations Master to move the master from SRV1 to SRV2, I go to make the change both for RID PDC and infrastructure tells me that to transfer the operations master role to another computer you must first connect to it. In order to have a BDC you must have a PDC in the same network I have. Now wanting to permanently discontinue SRV1
#Pdc to bdc windows
Which allowed me to promote SRV2 to Backup Domain Controller. In Windows NT 4 domains, the backup domain controller (BDC) is a computer that has a copy of the user accounts database. If the PDC would win out in the sync I'm afraid I'm screwed!?!? If I shut down the new PDC and attempt to promote the BDC it actually disappears from the "Network Neighborhood" listing so how do I promote it? Can this be done from command line? I AM in the process of getting our domain upgraded but it's going to be summer before I can get this done due to company finances etc.I have an SRV1 server with Windows Server 2012 R2 that works as a Domain Controller, since it is starting to have hardware problems I also considered it appropriate for greater security to put on another SRV2 server always with Windows Server 2012 R2 to do it I installed the operating system and then I added the server to the domain as a BDC On Windows 2003 you can do that - you can make server member of. member server or standalone) out of the box.
Hi, On Windows NT 4.0 you can change between PDC and BDC but not to any other role (e.g. If you are installing on a Primary Domain Controller (PDC) or a Backup Domain Controller (BDC), log on as a member of the Domain Administrators group. Thus my quandary! My fear is that if I sync the two which one wins out the BDC or PDC? Obviously I want the BDC to win out because it's got all the proper machine's showing up in the domain and the new PDC is not. Can I switch between PDC, BDC and standalone (workgroup) several times, without re-installing the server Thanx in advance, Kizetoni, Denmark. If I try to promote the BDC to PDC is tells me that the database's are stale and that I need to sync the BDC and PDC. The NT Server that was performing as BDC won't promote itself unless it can demote the PDC which will never be back online. So now I have a PDC that is a part of my domain HOWEVER user accounts, etc or not in sync with the BDC.
If so, try selecting just the BDC in the PDC export list settings and see. OK so my PDC died I rebuilt it FORGETTING that I needed to promote the BDC to PDC during the rebuild process. Solution: There is no PDC/BDC setup, all DCs are equal, simply transfer the FSMO roles and demote the old one.Its best to have 2 DCs though so perhaps. You state the path as being to system31 - is this just a typo for this message If not, there's your problem. I want send request to BDC in case of PDC crash/unreachable. This is a followup to a question that I posted a week or so ago. add (or if its possible) backup domain controler for pass thru CIFS authentification ie.
