I have a Windows 2003 DFS server. It's Active Directory based with a hub and spoke topography. My server is the Hub. I need to decommission the current server and make another Windows 2003 server (with a different name) the new hub.<br />
Is there a best method for doing this?<br />
We have four other spokes, all on Windows 2003 server, that will remain the same.<br />
None of the servers are domain controllers or have other roles. <br />

I've done a lot of googling but haven't run into this particular scenario.

Move DFS Hub to new server

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).
