installing server 2003 in a server 2000 domain

[Guest Joe]

Im going to be installing a new server 2k3 in a 2000 domain with exchange.

Exchange will stay on the 2000 server but all data, etc will move to the 2003

domain. What is the best way of doing this? Is adding active directory to the

2003 server ok?

 

Thanks

Absolutely ok depending on your needs. However it does sound like all you

want this W2K3 server to be is a member file server so you gotta ask

yourself. Do I need a backup DC? Best way of doing this is to just join the

domain. If you need this to be a DC then you need to tun DCPROMO.
