Hi Nicolas, The actual steps depend on the roles on your DCs. Your main steps are OK, if there is any error after moving, please check the DNS records first and make sure old records are removed and new records are created correctly. For your reference: How to move a DC to another site? http://blogs.dirteam.com/blogs/jorge/archive/2005/11/25/165.aspx If there is any problem, please let us know the detailed information and help to collect MPS report of the moved DCs for research. 1) Download proper MPS Report tool from the website below.

Hi Nicolas, As mervyn explained there is no problem / issue that i can see in the migration process and if any errors after migration , you would need to concentrate on the DNS.
