To deploy domain controllers running Windows Server 2003, it's recommended that you use the Windows Server 2003 Deployment Kit, which is available on line at the Microsoft Windows Deployment and Resource Kits Web site (http://www.microsoft.com/ windows /reskits/).
The online deployment kit includes case studies and the necessary information for deploying Windows Server 2003 Active Directory in networks that have domain controllers running Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000. If your network includes branch offices, see "Designing the Site Topology" in the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Deployment Kit (Microsoft Press, 2003). This online guide helps you plan Active Directory deployment when branch office sites are connected with slow network links.
