Adding a W2008 Authenticating Server to existing W2003 Domain?

spelk (IS/IT--Management)

I have an existing W2003 Domain, simple setup with one DC and a SQL Server (approx 100 users). There are issues with Windows 7 Clients and login scripts and we're now seeing much greater numbers of Windows 7 users turning up as they upgrade their PC/Laptops.

What I want to do, is add another Server with W2008 on it, and authenticate the Windows 7 Clients - but leave the W2003 server running as is - to prevent disruption to the network and the existing WinXP users.

Is it possible?

Any advice as to how do this, without major disruption to the W2003 network?
