How to remove a SBS 2000 for Server 2003

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

I have a client that has SBS 2000. They want to totaly go away from SBS 2000
and use only a 2003 server domain. How can I get the 2003 server to be the
FSMO holder without doing a force take over from the 2000 SBS server? If I
upgraded the 2000 SBS server to 2003 SBS would this help any? I would like to
beable to remove the 2000 SBS server without forcing a take over. Any cluse
on how to do this?

At some point you have to Seize the Roles
You can introduce a Windows 2003 Server as a DC, make it a DNS, WINS and =
Global Catalog server as well

You may wish to look at options at sbsmigration.com

And why does this client want to go away from SBS

They want to go to Server 2003 for several reasons one being the amount of
users they have and will have in the future. Also the Exchange server is on a
seperate system and not tied to SBS 2000. Plus they don't want to be limitied
to what SBS allows. It worked good when the company was small but now that
they are growing it needs to go away.

Hi

Introduce the 2003 server as a ADC in the SBS2000 domain.
Make ADC as a global catalog server as-well.

make sure the replication is workig fine - once everything is set u can
transfer or seize the roles on the ADC and remove the SBS2000 - either doing
a dcpromo or meta data cleanup.


if u r using exchange and other components on the sbs2000 then u have to take
a backup of the exchange database and run disaster recovery


What other features r u using on SBS2000??


Thanks

Deep
