What goal are you trying to reach?
I tring to upgrade my domain form 2000 to 2003 but not a typical proccess. I want to backup the domian and restor it to a new hardwar so I can copy the users and all thing from one to another.
you have been given a link that shows you how to upgrade your domain to windows 2003.
Are you saying you don't want to take the easier route of upgrading and instead try to copy your AD to entirely new hardware???? Upgrading by bringing 2003 dcs into your existing AD infrastructure is the best way to upgrade.

Plus I don't think you could actually backup AD from Windows 2000 and restore onto a 2003 server, someone please correct me if I'm wrong....
You can certainly backup AD using ntbackup and restore onto different hardware but I'm pretty sure that the OS and patch levels need to be the same on the new server as they were on the old servers. There is lots about restoring AD to different hardware if you google for it, but I'm positive the above is correct....
