You're almost there....
------------------------
1. Make sure that we have got Service Pack 4 or above on Server 2000 for
Windows.
2. Run ADPREP /forestprop and /domainprep to prepare it for 2003 server.
3. Do DCPROMO on the new server/Domain Controller.
4. Make it the Primary Domain Controller.
5. METABASE Clean on 2003 server using NTDSUTIL.
Best of luck!
