Hello TheWall,

Leave all connected until now, this event viewer entries show that something
seems to be with your schema replication creation, see:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc756482(WS.10).aspx

Please run repadmin /showrepl, dcdiag /v on the DCs and post the output here.

Best regards

Great, i am now on the step before demoting old DC. Can i know unplug any of the 2 servers and the other one will take over? Im getting the following errors on Old DC Event Type: Information Event Source: NTDS General Event Category: DS Schema Event ID: 1464 Date: 2009/07/20 Time: 11:20:44 AM User: NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON Computer: OLDDC Description: While searching for an index, Active Directory detected that a new index is needed for the following attribute. Attribute: msFVE-RecoveryGuid New index name: INDEX_LP_000907AD_1C09 A new index will be automatically created. Additional Data Error value: -1404 JET_errIndexNotFound, No such index and Event Type: Error Event Source: NTDS General Event Category: DS Schema Event ID: 1136 Date: 2009/07/20 Time: 11:20:45 AM User: NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON Computer: OLDDC Description: Active Directory failed to create an index for the following attribute. Attribute identifier: 591789 Attribute name: msFVE-RecoveryGuid A schema cache update will occur 5 minutes after the logging of this event and will attempt to create an index for the attribute. Additional Data Error value: -1403 JET_errIndexDuplicate, Index is already defined anything to worry about?

Anyway, should i worry about that errors? It is going to be decomissioned
anyway...

What i also need to move over is Exchange 2003 from the old server to
exchange 2007 on the new server. Should i create a new thread or is that
simple to do?

Hello TheWall,

Your old DC is a 2008 server core if i read the outpout correct?

Please describe some details about the sites you have and why they are configured
when no DC is in them, see dcdiag output HQ-Midrand / IS-OnSite / CapeTown?

Hello TheWall,

That are no errors, they are information events and you should wait until
the changes are made before disconnecting and later on demoting.

That all domain members use the new DC the new one must be DNS server and
the clients must be configured to use it as preferred DNS on the NIC.

Also if not done you should configure the new PDCEmulator to an external
time source with following command:
w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:PEERS /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update

With "PEERS" you can set the time source, either DNS name (time.windows.com)
or an ip address from a reliable time source.

Here you can find some of them:
http://www.pool.ntp.org/

The former PDCEmulator reconfigure with:
w32tm /config /syncfromflags:domhier /update

After that run:
net stop w32time
net start w32time

Anyway, should i worry about that errors? It is going to be decomissioned anyway... What i also need to move over is Exchange 2003 from the old server to exchange 2007 on the new server. Should i create a new thread or is that simple to do?

Hi,

Old server is a win 2003.

We have now removed the old sites. To be honost i cant remember why they
were created but all removed.

You mentioned obove that the one event is not a error but information...

This looks like a Error to me. Still happening every few minutes. Going to
ignore it for now as we are going to demote the server.

Active Directory failed to create an index for the following attribute.

Attribute identifier:
591789
Attribute name:
msFVE-RecoveryGuid

A schema cache update will occur 5 minutes after the logging of this event
and will attempt to create an index for the attribute.

Additional Data
Error value:
-1403 JET_errIndexDuplicate, Index is already defined

For more information, see Help and Support Center at

Hello TheWall,

So i must mixed something with server core because of the name, sorry for
the confusion.

Do not ignore them. See this article about:

Hi, Old server is a win 2003. We have now removed the old sites. To be honost i cant remember why they were created but all removed. You mentioned obove that the one event is not a error but information... This looks like a Error to me. Still happening every few minutes. Going to ignore it for now as we are going to demote the server. Active Directory failed to create an index for the following attribute. Attribute identifier: 591789 Attribute name: msFVE-RecoveryGuid A schema cache update will occur 5 minutes after the logging of this event and will attempt to create an index for the attribute. Additional Data Error value: -1403 JET_errIndexDuplicate, Index is already defined For more information, see Help and Support Center at "Meinolf Weber [MVP-DS]" wrote: Going to start with Exchange now. That for all your help!!!!! Hello TheWall, Your old DC is a 2008 server core if i read the outpout correct? Please describe some details about the sites you have and why they are configured when no DC is in them, see dcdiag output HQ-Midrand / IS-OnSite / CapeTown?
