sorry for the late response (i've had quite the workload lately). I've taken a look at it. I've one remark: this is for transferring between windows 2000 server servers, while I want to transfer from a Windows 2000 server to a Windows 2003 server. Will this give any problems?

I found it: you can change it at active directory level: when you right click on &quot;active directory&quot; and choose &quot;Domain Master&quot; you can transfer the 3 roles to another server. That's seems a better solution to me

Hello<br />
<br />
we've got an Windows 2000 Server Domain Controller and a Windows 2003 Excahange Server wich also has DNS, DHCP &amp;&nbsp;WINS configured (so it's also our secondary DC). I want to get rid of the Windows 2000 server and upgrade the 2003-server to be the primary domain controller.<br />
<br />
What steps should I follow to do so?<br />
<br />
thanks in advance for the help.

Upgrade secondary domain controller to primary

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).
