Configuring the first windows 2008 domain controller in a 2003 AD domain

Hi guys happy new year to u all.
Guys we ave a windows 2003 ad domain. We currently do not have any 2008 domain controllers, but want to start.
What steps are needed to ensure that our first 2008 dc is configured correctly so at it can coexist in our 2003 domain?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi guys, thank you so much for your help.

Sandesh,

Our domain and forest functional levels are Windows Server 2003 native.

What we want to do is to leave our functional levels at 2003 native (for the time being).

We have the following forest:

Root domain
    |____ child domain

We have 3 DCs in the root, and over 50 DCs in the child dc. They all run 2003.
