I've seized the 5 roles.

I'm now removing the old server from the active directory as per
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/216498 which is the first referred kb in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555846/en-us
In kb 216498 I'm now at step 18 where it says:
----------<quote>-------------------------------
In the DNS console, use the DNS MMC to delete the A record in DNS. The A
record is also known as the Host record. To delete the A record, right-click
the A record, and then click Delete. Also, delete the cname record in the
_msdcs container. To do this, expand the _msdcs container, right-click
cname, and then click Delete.
----------<quote>-------------------------------
The funny thing is, the tiodc1 server is the only one listed in the _msdcs
container. Shouldn't my tiodc2 server be listed there as well?
Should I add it manually?

Ok, read some article I found using Google which told me to restart the
netlogon service on the remaining dc and indeed, suddenly the _msdcs
container was filled with relevant info.
