2003 Server, what necessary steps to take with DNS. little brief
explanation

Nothing special. If it is working now it should survive the upgrade.

Danny is right -- only exceptions are likely REALLY old hardware or
some bizarre device that has no W2K3 driver but there really isn't
much of this stuff, especially if you upgrade the BIOS on your older
machines. (Talking circa 2000-2001, Pentium 3-4 500 Mhz or slower.)

These machines usually even work.

In addition, it would help the upgrade if he turns off and disables
auto-startup for any antivirus, antispam, security centers, and firewalls
before running running the upgrade.
