Just make sure that all references to the old (P)DC are not present in the metadata on the 2003 server, and you should be good to go. &nbsp; This assumes you've taken care of any ancillary things the old 2000 server was doing, such as DHCP scopes, hosting printers, etc.<br />

Additionally, you to need to make sure you have the Active Directory, or however you were controlling other domain computer info, and all users moved. &nbsp;I should have mentioned that, but I was assuming you had probably already taken care of that since you knew about transferring FSMO roles. :)<br />
