Hello Roger,

Thank you for posting here.

Yes, you can demote and down old server in the old domain, even format the
server and fresh operating system.

Some related information:

I hope the information proves helpful!
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to let me know. I am glad
to be of assistance.
Thanks and regards,

| OK I have got a read about doing the migrations and I am doing a
Interforest
| Migration in the morning from a 2000 domain to a 2003 domain. My question
is
| once you have moved all your users and computers and such from the old
| domain and you are sure the clients are working properly on the new
domain.
| Do you just demote and down your old server in the old domain then? We
are
| planning on re formatting that server and bring it up with a fresh OS and
| making it a DC in the new domain? Thanks
