Hi,
I was wondering what is involved in transferring DC functionality, (DNS, DHCP, Active Directory, etc), when adding a new server.

I am planning to add a new server to the domain to replace the current DC.

Servers OSs: Windows Server 2003 SBS

I would appreciate any suggestions, first hand experience that you may have on this.

Thanks,
Chuck

If you're going to go from SBS to SBS and want to keep the same domain name you will need to do a swing migration. It's not too complicated but you want to be very careful and follow the steps without jumping ahead. If you do you'll have a lot of headaches.

Here is a great link to get you started.

Best of luck.
