Hi all,

i am making a new "temp" server to install sbs2000 AD and exchange 2000 on.

I will then be removing my old hard drive from my SBS2000 server and
installing a new drive and then installing sbs2003

I have made the "temp" server so i can Migrate my current sbs2000 settings
to and then migrate them back to my sbs2003 install.

Now before i do this :) my "temp" machine is completly different from my
current server, i have tried a restore of AD by using backup exec and it all
restored fine but it couldnt find some files when i tried to log on as
administrator, so it would only log on with a default profile and thats no
good .

if i migrate my AD to this temp machine will i have the smae issues or does
it handle it differently?

the best way to copy AD to the new machine is to add the other server and AD
will replicate, dcpromo your temp box out and you'll be set. Make sense?
