Hi All,
I have an existing Windows 2000 server network (not SBS 2000), because of
server hardware age and issues we are going to a new box with SBS 2003
Premium, my question is I know that SBS has to be top dog but can I join
it to the existing domain and get the FSMO roles, global catalog etc on to
it and then demote and remove the existing DC.
Current setup
Windows 2000 Server DC running Exchange, ISA 2000, DHCP, DNS and WINS etc
I have one issue with Exchange whereas the Store wont backup because of a
checksum issue (and lack of space to take it offline and clean it up).

Thanks
Windows 2000 Member Server (file server)
