Hi Steve,

Yes, it is a wisdom to perform a domain restructure since the old domain
has potential issue in it.

For the migration, you can refer to the step-by-step document in the
following link:

Hope this helps.

Hi,

We unfortunately have a SBS 2000 server which in some way or another has
a
corrupt Active Directory this by MS own admission can't be recovered from
and
because of the mess of backups there was not a good backup to recover
from.

I'm not sure how corrupt it actually is but things seem to generally run
ok
adding/removing users etc. Some configuration utilities don't work but
fortunately they aren't mission critical!

Anyway now that the funds have been made available to me to upgrade the
flagging server to new hardware and SBS 2003 I have a question on
whether,
given the potential state of AD it is wise to actually perform a
migration
given that some potentially corrupt object properties may get carried
over to
our new domain?

Thanks for your help and advice.
