| Hi there,
Can anyone please let me know the correct procedures to promote a BDC to a PDC.
(PDC off, promote BDC to PDC then demote the orginal PDC to BDC???)
Many thanks. | |

| To upgrade from a member server to a BDC or PDC, NT Server must be reinstalled.
To downgrade from a PDC or BDC to a member server, NT Server must be reinstalled.
To change a PDC to a BDC, or a BDC to a PDC, you must promote a BDC to a PDC in the Server Manager. There is no "Demote" option here, only Promote a BDC. NT will disconnect the current PDC if online and handle everything automatically.
Only when a PDC goes offline unexpectedly, will there be an option to Demote to a Backup Domain Controller. This will only be seen when the original PDC comes back online.
A BDC cannot automatically promote itself when the PDC becomes disconnected from the network. A BDC will continue to service login requests during the time that the PDC is unavailable.
