I am trying to replace an old machine which is the domain
controller (Windows 2000/Active Directory/Mixed Mode), to
a new machine.

I need to shut down the old machine and take it off the
network.

Any help would be appreciated.
 
Do you need to keep old computer name?

If yes:

1. add temp machine as new dc, xfer fsmo roles, demote "old dc"
2. name new hardware same as "old dc" , promote to domain controller, xfr
fsmo roles back, remove temp machine. DONE

If no:

1. build new machine, promote to dc, xfer roles, demote "old dc" DONE
