SBS 2000 to Windows 2008 Standard Migration

[Kent Tylman]

I need to migrate SBS 2000 to Windows 2008 Standard. There is no Exchange
running. Can I join the SBS domain, run DC promo and then sieze the FSMO
roles or do I need to use ADMT? Is ADMT supported in this scenareo? Thanks
for any help.

Microsoft has not really published any supported scenarios
based on everything I understand, because of the difference in AD Schemas,
you'd have to introduce a Win2003 R2 server as a DC, take over the roles,
etc.
then raise the domain and forest functional levels to Windows 2003 then run
forestprep and domainprep from the Win2k8 software, then introduce the
Win2k8 server.

Cris,

Sorry about the duplicate posting but something is messed up with the web
interface on the newsgroup and I could reply in the same thread.

Is there a version of ADMT that will work for this? Which server would I
install it on?
