How to Move the Database.
You can move the Ntds.dit data file to a new folder. If you do so, the registry is updated so that Directory Service uses the new location when you restart the server.
To move the data file to another folder, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, click Run, type ntdsutil in the Open box, and then press ENTER.
2. At the Ntdsutil command prompt, type files, and then press ENTER.
3. At the file maintenance command prompt, type move DB to new location (where new location is an existing folder that you have created for this purpose), and then press ENTER.
4. To quit Ntdsutil, type quit and then press ENTER.
5. Restart the computer.
