Migrating to a new server

Hi guys/dolls

I am on the verge of migrating from my old windows 2000 server to a windows
2003 server (why not 2008?) in a few days. Actually all I will be doing is
creating a new active directory user database and move the data from one
server to another. Also I would like to do this procedure whilst users are
working on the old server without having to turn off anything ie: migrating
a user one by one.

Problem is how will I be able to create a new domain and be able to move the
data from a domain to another, and be able to retain admin permissions. Can
you perhaps suggest some tips how I can perform this procedure with minimal
problems in the way?

Many thanks
Paul Archibald Smith

Hello Paul,

See the answer in microsoft.public.win2000.networking and please do not multipost,
use crossposting with a newsreader like Outlook express or any other.

Best regards

Paul - First share your Plan and current Infrastructure.

You have many option to upgrade 2000 to 2003.

downtimes
