Hi

At present I have 3 DC running in a Windows 2000 environment. The PDC,ABC,
is running Windows 2000 Server, another DC, ABC1, is also running Windows
2000 Server and the Exchange 2003 server, ABC2, is running Windows 2003
Server.

I would like to create a new domain.

Procedure

Take the machine that is called ABC1, and scrub it and install Win2k3. It
would therefore act as the PDC in the new domain, TESTING.COM

Install an Active Directory Integrated zone

Create a trust relationship between old domain,TEST.COM and new domain,
TESTING.COM

Install Active Directory Migration tool in the new domain created.

Move the user account and groups to the new domain

Install the Exchange Migration tool in target domain

Move mailboxes to new domain

Uninstall Exchange 2003 from the server called ABC2

Run DCPROMO

Add it to new domain

Reinstall Exchange

Remove the server called ABC, install WIN2K3 on the server and add to the
new domain

Transfer role of PDC emulator back to this system

Is this plan doable to create the new domain.

Is the process correct for adding the server which presently has Exchange on
it to the new domain

I would like when the server running exchange is added to the new domain it
is a Member server, how do I achieve this.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
