project plan for IT
I need a project plan to refresh a domain controller. Would anyone have a good template to use? Thanks.

Thanks, that looks good but I more need like a word doc with a template to use...such as timelines,tasks, etc. I never really did one before. I need to present it to my managers and I want it to look nice. I hope this makes sense.

One possible order for upgrading domain controllers is as follows:
Install Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) on a member server that runs Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2 in the forest root domain by using the Active Directory Domain Services Installation Wizard (Dcpromo.exe).
In each domain, upgrade the operating system on the domain controller that holds the primary domain controller (PDC) emulator operations master role, or transfer the role to a domain controller that runs Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2.
Some tasks, such as creation of the Enterprise Read-Only Domain Controllers group, are performed on the PDC emulator only if it is running Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2. It may be preferable to upgrade the PDC emulator for that reason, but it is not a requirement. If the PDC emulator is not upgraded, the Enterprise Read-Only Domain Controllers group is created when the first read-only domain controller (RODC) is added to the domain.
Continue upgrading domain controllers or retiring domain controllers that you no longer want to keep in your infrastructure, until the domain upgrade is complete.
