Hello!

I've got a little issue here. I work for a company and we are getting a new
Intelserver. Now the problem is we've got an 32bit windows 2003 small
business server with an Active Directory (and sql). And we are getting a
Windows 2008 Small business server 64bit. Is there any possible way to
''Transfer'' ''Move'' or ''Copy'' the Active Directory to his new server
without changing, removing or adding any data. I really need to be sure that
nothing goes wrong cause 25 people are working on it everyday (Ofcourse i
have a back-up, but still) Though I know there excists something called
DCpromo that basically makes your second server a copy of your first (only
ad) ... And addind a server into the domain via Computer Properties then
Domain > blablalba But that doesnt Copy the AD doesnt it.. Or am i talking
stupid now? Anyhow! I thank you for your help already!

Kind Regards,

What you're planning is a Migration.

Check out SBSMigration. His process is very helpful especially if you have
not done this often. His process lets you take your time getting the new
sever up and very nearly operational without interrupting the use of the
existing server.
