Need to know the best path to follow to migrate from 2003 Server with 2 domain controllers and exchange 2003 &nbsp;to 2 new 2008 R2 servers and exchange 2010.<br />
The existing domain is a windows server 2003 interim domain with 2 domain controllers both are server 2003 sp2.. The first domain controller is a file and print server, holds all FSMO roles and is the Global Catalog. The second domain controller is an Exchange 2003 &nbsp;SP2 Server. One of the new 2008 R2 servers will become a domain controller and the other will become exchange 2010. The overall goal is to transfer everything to the two new servers and retire the two old 2003 domain controllers.
