How to import/export Active Directory?
I am currently installing Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition on a new machine. I need to export my entire Active Directory from the old machine that is running Windows Server 2003 Standard, and import it into the New Machine running Server 2003 R2 Standard. How can I do this without recreating every user and setting?
If you make the new server a domain controller Active Directory will replicate everything to the new server.

If I make it a domain controller, wont I have to give it the name of my domain? By giving it the same domain name that already exists, wont there be a conflict when both servers are on the network?
Ok. I see, so you are changing domains?

Well we want to keep the same domain name as well as giving the new server the same name as the old one
