Hi Mike,

Thanks for update!

Q: Hardware is 5 years old, company just bought new hardware and we were
thinking of building a new 2000 then dcpromo, then move all the roles to it
and then upgrade to 2003?

A: I can say that the plan can process smoothly. Actually, you may build a
new Windows 2k3 server directly and dcpromo it to be an additional DC in
the original Windows 2k domain. Then afterwards transfer to FSMO roles from
Windows 2k to Window 2k3 DC.

| Jason,
|
| Thanks for the response, I was originally going to do a inplace upgrade,
but
| found this sites and wanting to take some of the wisdom and experiance.
|
| Hardware is 5 years old, company just bought new hardware and we were
| thinking of building a new 2000 then dcpromo, then move all the roles to
it
| and then upgrade to 2003?
|
| But seeing the posts of taking a 2003 member server and doing a dcpromo
on
| it to begin the upgrade, then move the FSMO roles. I would not be
building a
| 2000 machine but instead could build the 3 new dc's as windows 2003
members
| and then dcpromo and move each role I wish to each of the new machine's.
| Currently we have 3 2000 dc's in the root, which we would move from each
of
| the old to the new machine. After the root we will begin with branches
that
| are aditional dc's and will also replace them since a HP pentium 200 just
| won't make it( no laughing please) and we can then do the 2 child as we
like
| as well.to finish with raising the funtion level.
|
| Thanks again, got to go do some reading from all those links :-)
|
| Mike :-)
