Will it cause a problem having Exchange 2000 and Windows 2003 AD Schema ?

That document comments on Exchange 2003 not 2000.

So to my understand I should run...

ADPrep /forestprep
ADPrep /domainprep

ldifde.exe /i /f
inetOrgPersonFix.ldf /c "DC=mycorp,DC=com"

in that order right?

Hi,

No, the other way round:

Well Scenerio 2 shows that my order is right.

Hi,

Please read scenario 2 again - it says that if Exchange 2000 is installed
you should fix the potential mangled attributes and then run adprep.

How risky is this migration if you need to rate it on 10 and how long is the
process.

I have decided to do the following steps tell me what you guys think:

I have 2 DCs right now and adding a new one.

DC1 = Will stay up (Windows 2000 SP4)
DC2 = Will be demoted once DC3 will be up (Windows 2000SP4)
DC3 = Server that I will run dcpromo (Windows 2003)
EX1 = Exchange 2000 Server already part of AD

1. Move Global Catalog to DC1 using article
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=313994

2. Using Scenerio 2 in article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314649
a Run ldifde -i -f inetorgpersonprevent.ldf -v -c DC=X "dn path for
forest root domain"
b ADPREP /forestprep
c ADPERP /domainprep

3. DCPROMO DC3

4. Verify DNS and Sysvol are replicating

5. DCPROMO DC2 ( to turn it into a member server )

Should I worry about transfering all FSMO roles to DC1?

G.
