Migrate windows 2k server to new hardware and upgrade to win2k3 standard server

[Mazameezo77]

I am planning to migrate a windows 2000 server (member of a domain) - the server is running Microsoft Systems management server 2003 and Symantec Antivirus Server v 10.0.0.359
to windows 2003 server (also member of a domain)
what are steps and are there any precautions that i need to lookout for??

Hello Mazameezo77,

You can easy install a new 2003 server in your domain, install patch to latest
and SP2 and additional patches.

For SMS maybe this will help you:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

You can restore an SMS site to a different computer. However, the computer
must have the same name and be in the same domain as the site that failed.

For SMS question i suggest to post here:
microsoft.public.sms.admin
microsoft.public.sms.installer
microsoft.public.sms.misc
microsoft.public.sms.setup
microsoft.public.sms.software_updates
microsoft.public.sms.tools

For Symantec Antivirus Server contact Symantec support. http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index.jsp

Best regards
