Migrating from 2000 domain to 2008 domain with new hardware

    I have a Windows 2000 domain with Exchange 2000 in a small office. The main domain controller and Exchange 2000 are on separate Windows Server 2000 boxes. I have one additional Server 2000 box on the network for redundancy for AD and DNS, nothing else.

    I want to update to Server 2008 to replace my aging 2000 Server primary domain controller (I'm simply referring to the FSMO holder in this case). Exchange 2000 is still working fine and if possible, I want to avoid having to pony up several thousand dollars for a new version of Exchange, Windows Server and new hardware at this point. Ideally I would like to upgrade our domain to be 2008 compatible and run by the 2008 server as the FSMO holder / main file and application server with Exchange 2000 remaining on the other 2000 server.

    Is it possible to have this configuration with Server 2008, or do I need to upgrade my domain to be 2003-compatible first and move on from there? Has anyone else worked with a similar configuration? What other issues or concerns should I be aware of?

    Here's the setup I have versus what I would like to have:

    Currently:

    Win2k Server 1 - FSMO holder / file, print and app server, AD, DNS, DHCP
    Win2k Server 2 - Exchange 2000
    Win2k Server 3 - redundancy for AD and DNS

    Desired:

    Win2008 Server - FSMO holder / file, print and app server, AD, DNS, DHCP
    Win2k Server 2 - Exchange 2000
    Win2k Server 3 - redundancy for AD and DNS (is this still possible on a 2008 domain?)

    Any help or feedback would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    Hi,

     

    If you want to upgrade the operating system of a Windows 2000 domain controller to Windows Server 2008, you must first perform an in-place upgrade of a Windows 2000 operating system to a Windows Server 2003 operating system. Then, perform an in-place upgrade of this Windows Server 2003 operating system to a Windows Server 2008 operating system. A direct Windows 2000 to Windows Server 2008 operating system upgrade is not supported.

     

    If you are going to add a new Windows Server 2008 computer in the domain, you can directly upgrade the Active Directory infrastructure to 2008.

     

    Here is a detailed guideline for upgrading Active Directory domain to Windows Server 2008 AD DS domain for your reference:

    Hope it helps.
