Migrating 2003 sp2 to 2003 r2 server
I have one server running 2003 sp2 that is the primary domain controller. server 2 is a small terminal server domain controller running 2003 r2. I plan to install 2003 r2 on a third server with the intent of using it as the PDC. Server is much better designed server for fault tollerance (hot swap bays) than server1. Server one also has a multitude of odd problems that reoccur and I would like to get away from.
server one and two are a dells.
I would appreciate any suggestions on how best to proceed with the migration or a reason to not. I also have thoughts of using DFS for a fail over system but the programs on C drive would have to replicate as well as the data on the D drive. We run several small data base programs on server1.

"""It is true that the "PDC" is no longer used in the Active directory domain. However the term "PDC" is still commonly used to denote the first domain controller in a domain and that was the reference intended in the question""""
True, but this is an incorrect terminology whether or not its used commonly.
Thanks and glad you found what you needed :)
