Re: Migrating Windows 2000 domain to Windows 2003

Hi K.V,

Thanks for your post.

I understand that you are planning on migrating your domain to Windows 2003
from windows 2000.

First, do you want to upgrade or migrate? Use different domain name? or
maintain the original domain?

If upgrade, see:

If migrate, see:
