I am currently in the planning phase of upgrading a Windows 2000 server to 2003 and I am in need of some insight or best how to. Here is the current set up:<br />
Server A (Domain Controller) Server 2003<br />
Server B (Domain Controller) Server 2000 in need of removal- Home folders reside here as well as a number of shares..<br />
Server C (Exchange 2003)<br />
<br />
I want to totally replace server B with a new server running 2003 but I want to migrate everything over to the new server but I also want to keep Server B name on the new server. Any suggestions?

Server 2000 migration to clean and pristine server 2003 in a 2000/2003 environment

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).
