Question : Windows Server 2000 Decommission

Hi,
Our current AD environment is this:
Server 1 - Windows 2000 DC (first server installed)
Server 2 - Windows 2003 DC
Server 3 - Windows 2003 (Member Only)

What I would like to do is decommission the 2000 server and make Server 3 a DC. My understanding of the process is this:

1. Move all data/applications from Server 1.
2. Transfer the FSMO roles from Server 1 to Server 2
3. Run DCPROMO to demote Server 1
4. Adjust domain functional level to 2003
5. Run DCPROMO to promote Server 3

Is there anything I have missed, or would it be better to adjust the order of the tasks in some way?
Thanks

Hi,

yes the steps are very correct. Just consider WHAT appliactions you are removing from Server 1. I mean especially those, that could be affecting AD like Exchange server for instance. If you have nothing like that on server 1, go ahead.
