Hi Michael, to upgrade your WS03 Domain and forest level to WS08, if i remember correctly, we should do the following steps:

1. Make sure your domain function level is windows 2000 native or windows 2003.

2. on the WS03 schema master, do the domain prep, and forest prep from a WS08 DVD

3. upgrade one of your WS03 DC to WS08 or join a WS08 server into WS03 Domain as a DC.

4. Move the FSMO roles to the new WS08 DC

5. decommssioning all the WS03 DC.

6. on the WS08 DC, upgrade your domain level to WS08

7. on the WS08 DC, upgrade your forest level to WS08

please advise if i got something wrong on the steps above. thanks

Frank - Schema prep comes first and then domain prep

Minor additions:

4.5 Add in second WS08 DC to ensure redundancy

8. Add in RODC if/when necessary

Other than that - awesome!!
