Adding win 2000 member server to win 2003 domain

[probeselector]

We are planning to put in new Dell server with Windows 2003 server as domain controller. This will be a new local domain. Our old server is currently running win 2000 server as a member server of a different companys domain. Are there any issues that i may need to think about. I am thinking about just adding the old server to the new 2003 domain and then just xcopy all of the data files to the new server. The old server will then be used as a ip phone system server. Will this work. As usual thanks in advance for any help.

If the old server is nothing more than a member server. I don't see where you would haave any problems. You are just going to dcpromo the new 2003 box make it a dc set up dns than add the lod 2000 server to the new 2003 domain as a member server. Can you expalin a little more about this part of your message

We have purchased a company from a larger corporation and also purchased the old server. The old server is a member of their domain as a member server just as a file server.
