Dear Paul Smith,

I think first if you need to create a new domain, you can consider to use
the tools download from mirosoft which call ADMT, and you can find it on your
installation disc 1 in the i386 you can see.

This tools can help you to migrate the user and gpo from your old server
2000 to your new server 2003 and it can keep both things to your new server

Using this tools, you don't need to move anything from your old server
manually, this tools can do automatically

Migrating to a new server
Hi guys/dolls
I am on the verge of migrating from my old windows 2000 server to a windows
2003 server (why not 2008?) in a few days. Actually all I will be doing is
creating a new active directory user database and move the data from one
server to another. Also I would like to do this procedure whilst users are
working on the old server without having to turn off anything ie: migrating
a user one by one.
Problem is how will I be able to create a new domain and be able to move the
data from a domain to another, and be able to retain admin permissions. Can
you perhaps suggest some tips how I can perform this procedure with minimal
problems in the way?
Many thanks
