I am in the process of phasing out older servers and replacing them with newer ones. I need to replace my primary domain controller. I would like to promote the backup domain controller to the primary role. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated. Suggestions on steps to take and things to watch out for would be a great help. Thanks in advance.

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
