DNS, WINS, DHCP?
Don't forget to mark the new DC as a GC in addition to
transferring the FSMO roles.
The domain and forest functional levels won't get
automatically set to Windows Server 2003, so you will need to do this
too.

You should dcpromo the old win2k server afterwards to
remove it as a DC and then remove it from the domain. You may have already
planned on doing this you just didn't mention it :)

Subject: [ActiveDir] small domain upgrade strategy
I have a small non-profit I help out, and they have about 10 users and a single Win2K domain controller. They have purchased a new server, which comes with 2003. They want to get rid of the old server, so I intend to migrate as follows, and just want to make sure this is correct:
1. On the Win2K server, run adprep
/forestprep
2. Same server, run adprep
/domainprep
3. Install the Win2003 server, make
it a second DC in the domain
4. Migrate the users’ data
directories, etc. to the Win2003 server
5. Transfer AD roles to the 2003 server
6. Power off the 2000 server and format
Is this a valid plan?
Thanks!
