i'm due to do my first swing migration from sbs 2000 to sbs 2003
premium, i have a question regarding adprep.
can i use a win2k server as the temp domain controller, remove it from
the network and then run adprep on it and then connect the new sbs 2k3
server to this and complete the swing migration.

thanks for any help
