Migrate a domain controller from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008

In this Will be doing a Migrating from a windows server 2003 sp2 standard to 2008 R2 64 bit Windows Server.

The Domian Name Sccmtest.com

Roles in the server : DNS,

1. 1st step open command prompt and run the following commands, make sure first to browse to the adprep directory inside the Windows 2008 DVD , in my case, the D drive is the DVD Drive letter, so to browse to the adprep directory (Eg: cd D:\sources\adprerp)

· adprep/ forestprep

· adprep/ domainprep

· adprep/ rodcprep (Optional, if you plan to add a Read Only Domain Controller Later)
