Hi Guys,

What i am doing is replacing a clients server that is running windows 2000 server and exchange 2000 with a new windows 2003 server and exchange 2003.

I need to migrate AD to the new server and need so assistance as i have never tried it?

It's pretty straight forward , what You have to do is: - prepare Your domain to incorporate windows 2003 DC http://www.petri.co.il/windows_2003_adprep.htm

- You are using Exchange 2000 so You have to apply this fix

Before joining Exchange 2003 to domain You have to prepare the domain for Ex2003 with /forestpre and /domainprep. Then You have to move your mailbox but thi can be done with ADU&C.

If You want to remove old servers You have to remove old exchange server

And move FSMO roles from old server to new one:
