I have a company with five different locations. Each one has a 2003 server with active Directory. What I want to know is, Can I convert all the sites onto one box and make one of those sites the primary site (the forest)and keep the others under the primary (the trees).

If I understand your description properly, the 5 locations right now are each their own forest each with a single AD Domain.

I'm sorry to say, there is no tool for restructuring multiple distinct forests into one.

You would have to choose one of the sites to be the forest, or create a new forest, and then MIGRATE with the ADMT all of the remaining sites into their respective location within the main forest.
