OK, here is the deal. I am working with a very small network that has only one Windows 2000 server (DC). It is running Active Directory. The server currently has multiple SCSI drives. The drives have been added as necessary for more space but the drives are not RAIDed.
I would like to switch from all those SCSI drives to one large IDE drive. At the same time, I would like to do a clean install of Windows 2000 (the current install is over three years old). I would also do a clean install of other (third-party software) on the server but I am not worried about that (just stating it FYI). I want the server name to remain the same and I want the process to be seamless on the workstation end. I think I can do this over a weekend so server downtime will not be an issue (I will always have my SCSI drives to fall back to if I run into problems).
My question is, what would be the best way to do this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
