it might have been a better idea to jion the new server to the existing domain leaving the old server on line for a few weeks letting them replicate the accounts and SID's to the new server. transfer all the fsmo roles to then take the old server off line. if nothing has been done to the old server it might be easier to bring it back up and change the network in this fasion.

Replication is a good idea. Simply promoting new server as domain controller doesn't resolve the problem because old server contains user accounts and SIDs supplied by the Domain Naming Master FSMO role. If you simply put new server and promote it domain controller it won't work because it will create all user accounts from the starting SID. Better you replicate the new server with old and then take it out from the production environment.<br />

Moved AD From one 2000 server to another new one and apps have stopped working

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.
