Migrating SBS2000 to Win2003 Standard

I need some help in migration from Small Business Server 2000
to Windows Server 2003.

We have a Working 25 users SBS2000 (we use only windows and non of the
SQL, ISA, Exchange, ..) , we bought a new server and Win2003 Standard
licnese. I need to move every thing to the new server (users,
computers, data, ...) but becuase of the SBS2000 limitation we are not
able to do so.

To explain more, we don't want the SBS2000 or any of the componantes
and mores (SQL, ISA, ...) all what we need is the domain it self (AD
data).

We need to disable the SBS limitation to allow the new server to
function as a full PDC then we will remove the SBS. Any
suggestions.Thanks for the help!!!

Yeah, I sugest you've wasted a lot of money, first implementing SBS 2000
without its parts then buying Windows Server 2003 outright rather than
upgrading to SBS2003.

Add the 2003 server to your domain as an additional DC.
Turn off the SBS2000.
Seize the FSMO roles.

BTW: You do know the new server can act as either a member server or DC in
the SBS2000 domain, don't you?

Can you be a bit more specific about this procedure? What exactly do I have
to do to turn off SBS?
