Migrating to a new server "Paul Smith" <teknologix007[ at ]gmail.com> 12/2/2008 7:41:48 AM Migrating to a new server Hi guys/dolls I am on the verge of migrating from my old windows 2000 server to a windows 2003 server (why not 2008?) in a few days. Actually all I will be doing is creating a new active directory user database and move the data from one server to another. Also I would like to do this procedure whilst users are working on the old server without having to turn off anything ie: migrating a user one by one. Problem is how will I be able to create a new domain and be able to move the data from a domain to another, and be able to retain admin permissions. Can you perhaps suggest some tips how I can perform this procedure with minimal problems in the way? Many thanks Paul Archibald Smith
