I am looking into upgrading our windows 2000 domain and forest to windows
2003 native domain and forest. We have 2 windows 2000 domains, I have run
the adprep command in our root domain. I have other questions regarding our
servers:

1. We have 1 windows 2000 domain controller. Its also a windows 2000 TS
licensing server and a DNS server. I want to demote this server by using
dcpromo as I dont want to upgrade this to a wiindows 2003 domain controller,
I want to leave it as standard windows 2000 server. The question is, is
there any issues with demoting a DC. Also once demoted will it still run as
a DNS server and a terminal licensing server. We have many servers using
this server as its primary DNS.

2. Do i need to run Adprep on my second domain

3. I have another windows 2000 DC. Can i do an in place upgrade to a
windows 2003 domain controller. Is it matter of inserting a windows 2003
CD.
