I am replacing my server running active directory this
weekend. What should I know before I dive into this
project. We have all of our users logging into this
domain server, people have network shares, and I don't
want any workstations to create new users so I have to
drag outlook settings all to new domain accounts. I want
to name the domain something different also. Any tips?
I'm terrified. IS there a guide anywhere online?????

THANK YOU!!
 
Basics:
Set up another server, patch it, make it a domain controller, replicate (or
let it do so on its own), and sieze the FSMO roles. Move the data. Recreate
the shares/permissions. Change your login scripts and account profile info.

Are you running Exchange? That gets into a whole 'nother kettle of fish.
