Question : Transferring FSMO roles to windows 2008 server

Hello experts
I have a new DC set up and I ran dcpromo on this box to transfer AD from Master DC. Now I am using this article to transfer FSMO roles to this box, The ms article : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324801. There is  a master server holding all the roles and internal server is slave server actinga as DC as of now. When I run the "netdom query fsmo" command on new DC it shows the master DC, My question is should I be doing all steps discussed in the article above on Master DC or internal server acting as current domain controller? Doesn't want to screw up the Master DC. as while doing the steps described in article above it asks to change the current directory server to the new box. That should be ok??
Please suggest.
Thanks

Answer : Transferring FSMO roles to windows 2008 server

There are a couple of ways to do this

For character strings:
  * --- Is It In The Search String ---
  cThisMonth = "July"
  INLIST(cThisMonth,'July','August','September')
        or
  * --- Is It In The Search String ---
  cThisString = 'ABC'
  cThisString $  "UYTUYTOILHKGUABCLKLJKJK")
        or
   * --- Find How Often It Occurs In The Search String ---
  cThisString = 'ABC'
  OCCURS(cThisString,  "UYTUYTOILHKGUABCLKLJKJK")
        or
   * --- Find Where It Occurs In The Search String ---
   cThisString = 'ABC'
  AT(cThisString,   "UYTUYTOILHKGUABCLKLJKJK")

For numbers
  * --- Is It In The Search Number List ---
  nThisNumber = 12
 INLIST(nThisNumber,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,10,11,12,13,14)

You should look into your VFP Help files for further explanation of each function / operator.

Good Luck
