Anyway, so I have purchased another Server disk and i want to remove the faulty disk and reinstall the new disk and put windows server 2012 there,
I had also created another replica domain 2 for replication purposes and the Domain users/computers/DNS have replicated. i.e I can see the users in the new created domain server , as such i assume replication as happened.
I tried doing a sytem state backup but i guess because of the disk failing , it just hangs, apparently users are able still to access the other shared folders, internet, and other domain services, but because of the warning in the server and flickering i have to replace the disk
so my question are before i remove and insert the new disk in our server do i need to transfer the FSMO roles to the new server i created for replication?
what else do i need to observe and do before replacing the disk
thank you
