re: Migrate to new domain server Monday, January 23, 2006 at 10:07 am Windows Server 2003 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Curt R (773 messages posted) Have you researched this topic here or on Microsoft's knowledge base, or on google? I can assure you, there's a ton of info available on this topic. I highly recommend you start on microsoft's site. You have several options. I believe the easiest would be to create the new server and promote it to a DC in your existing domain. Then transfer all FSMO roles, data, and the GC to the new server. However, unless the existing server is having serious hardware issues I'd give thought to keeping it, running both as DC's so you have some redundancy within your domain.
