I am trying to create a secondary domain controller in our domain. We recenelty redid out OS with our old one. WHat are the steps I need to run to get this started. Our primary domain acontroller is running windows server 2000, and our new one will be running on windows server 2003, so It says I need to run preps in order to make the two servers compatible. Does anyone have any insight? Forest prep? Domain prep? Thanks.

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
