Active Directory Question


we have windows 2003 server enterprise active directory domain controller.  our 30 clients have windows xp professional (which swapped out year).  looking @ replacing server windows server 2012 standard edition.   want clients have same exact desktops when over.  know there procedures on how "demote" , "promote" domain controllers.  need step step guide on how please , "gotchas" maybe waiting on me.   in advance!  our clients able log on nothing has been swapped out.

i'll go adding 20012per question.  so yes dcpromo , make additional dc in current domain. 

during dcpromo process should select box dns server , global catalog.  then after promotion have new dc/dns/gc.   

update clients (static , dhcp) use new box dns.

can transfer fsmo roles new box.

1 confident transferred check health of new dc using tools dcdiag/repadmin/event logs.  when things ok use dcpromo demote old dc
