Hi,<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; I have a server in my company which I have to replace with new dell server. I want to make the data identical on the new server. There is too much information on Active Directory, which I want to transfer to the new server, is it possible or not ? if it is then how I can backup the active directory and then restore it on the new server. So far I have installed the 2003 OS on the server and made it primary domain controller &nbsp;. <br />
<br />
Thanks

Replacing current servers with new server

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
