Windows Server 2003 to 2008 Migration
-
Monday, May 28, 2012 5:49 PMHello all -
I'm in the process of migrating Windows Server 2003 Enterprise (DC and file/print) to new HP Proliant hardware Windows Server 2008 Standard. What's the best practice for properly moving and upgrading? I was hoping to find instructions and/or checklist to ensure I don't miss any steps.
Appreciate your time.

The better way is to perform health analysis of the current environment, resolving the issues and then moving forward with upgrade. One more article for your reference.
