RE: migrate old server to new server



Hi,

>From your description, I suspect the old Windows Server 2003 act as Domain
Controller. Am I right? If so, you just need to add the new Windows Server
2003 into domain and promote to DC. Then transfer FSMO and demote the old
DC. Now, you can retire the old server safely since AD data will be
replicated automatically. If the old server also holds other data like
shared folder, you need to move shared folder to new server via FSMT. In
other words, depend on your situation.
