Hi everyone,
first of all I apologize if this question has already been dealt with on this forum. However, I just wanted to state my exact situation. Here goes:
I have a brand new 2003 server that I will be installing on my domain to replace our aging 2000 server. My hope is to install the new 2003 server onto the current domain, promote it to a DC so users can start logging on to the new server and essentially remove the old 2000 server from the domain. I know that I need to run adprep to prepare my old server for the new 2003 server. I have a couple of questions:
1. After my old 2000 server has been prepped using adprep, and I’ve promoted my new 2003 server to a domain controller, will the two servers replicate automatically so that users can then start logging on to the new 2003 server?
I guess I really only had one question. I just want to know if after I promote my new 2003 server to a DC will it take over the roles of the old 2000 server once I take it off line (netlogon, etc.). Is there anything else I need to know? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks a lot.
