I work in a small shop with ONE server. We are getting Rid of the very
old box with Windows 2000 server on it. I had Novell on it before and
put 2000 server enterprise on it (kind of overkill for a 30 something
office). It file shares and hosts web pagess).

I have tried for a week now to get all of the microsoft utilities to
work for Migration....it's just crazy hard! We bought a new highend
server from Dell with 2003 stanard server on it. I just want active
directory and the files to transfer....why is there no full microsoft
utility that does this??? I will buy one from a 3rd party if you know
one is good.

I have read the web using google...Lots of artilcles and no one seems
happy or has an easy time AND everyone has there own way to do this and
it never seems easy! I tried with two test machines and attempted to
get replications from a test 2000 server (desktop) to a 2003 (another
test desktop) but it wouldn't replicate. I had joined the 2000 server
domain as a child....the child could actually control the master domain
controller but the older 2000 server couldn't control the child! What
is that about! Lucky this was a test of one method! I did all the
adprep stuff too on the 2000 server! THEN when I decided to backout the
2003 server! it wouldn't CDpromo backdown to a standalone! NO WHERE
does microsoft discusse a FORCE DCpromo option but it's a command!!!
that works!!! took me googling and three hours to fiind it!!!!
Anyway, I just want ONE server...the test with the desktops running
servers didn't work and I can't afford to screw up the production
server.

What is the best step by step way to do this? Microsoft kills me with
it's little Active directory copying tool that would also not work for
me! It's a tiny tool that promises very little....I expect more from
microsoft....

Can anyone help me? I really need a total step by step on this...not a
referrral to a bunch of microsoft articles becuase microsoft never
tells you everything! PLEASE help!
