Upgrading windows 2000 server to 2003 SBS server

Hi Experts,

I am upgrading one our Windows 2000 server to Windows 2003 SBS server. We have got around 25 users. My worry is once i reconfigure the server do I need to individually disjoin all the workstations from old domain and rejoin them on to new one ?

If yes what would be the quickest way to do so ?

Thanks in advance.

Are you performing an in-place upgrade on the same machine?

Because that's something I'd say should be avoided if at all possible. If you are doing this is your server hardware appropriate for SBS 2003?

Also... are there other servers in the domain? any other DC's?

Then you should be following the steps outlined in http://sbsurl.com/migrate

thanks for migration info.It is quite useful. What I am precisely looking is Do I need to rejoin each and everycomputer to the new domain manually ? as I am going to keep the same domain name as before . Is there any easier way to do so ?
