Just install the two new server. And rin DCPROMO.EXE And make them domain controllers. Then you have to move the FSMO roles and the GC from the old one, over to the two new ones. Once all roles are moved. You run DCPROMO on the old server, to remove AD from it. After that, you can remove it from AD and scrap it. DHCP and DNS must also be moved, but that is not completely the same as AD. You should do that first.

What is the best way to cut-over to a new active directory server? Here's the situation: Currently, we have 1 Win2K AD server that handles user authentication, domain security, DNS, DHCP, and probably some other things I'm forgetting. I just got 2 new servers (win 2K) that are going to replace the current server. I do have plenty of down time to work on this when users aren't on the network over weekends and evenings. How about Microsoft's Active Directory Migration Tool... Will this help me out? Thanks in advance!
