I have a lab system running Win2K3 RC2. I have it configured will all of our
user accounts as well as GPOs. Would it be possible for me to, when the
production server arrives, just set it up as an additional server in an
existing domain that way all of the settings will just transfer over to the
"real" server. Then after that is done just take down the old beta server?
What issues can anyone see coming from this?

Thanks,
Matt

After I setup the new server and make sure everything is replicated, can I
just run DCPROMO on the old server? Would that be the easiest way to
transfer the FSMO?
 
Personally, I prefer to transfer the FSMO via NTDSUTIL so I'm sure they are
transferred correctly.
