Hi everyone,

I just wanted to see if I can firm what I believe is the correct process
to
migrate from Win2K Server on one box to Win SBS 2003 on another box trying
to
keep the same domain.

Setup a new (temporary) domain on the SBS 2003 box and use the ADMT to
transfer all the AD info regarding permissions, users, etc... to the new
SBS
2003 box.

Then, once the first transfer is finished, take the Win2K Server offline,
create a new DC on the SBS 2003 box (using the previous domain information
that was on the old Win2K server) and perform another ADMT transfer from
the
temporary created DC and transfer it to the DC that contains the original
domain info.

Am I correct in my brief outline of steps above? From the documents I've
been printing off and reading, as well as the searches I've performed, it
seems like this is the logical path to follow. Since it's not a rushed
support ticket, I have plenty of time to perform this task, but I wanted
to
confirm with the community so that it's done correctly.

I appreciate any and all comments, and thank you all in advance for your
assistance.

Regards,
-James-
