• join new server windows 2008 server existing domain
• transfer roles new server(all fsmo roles)
• leave times replications
• change application servers use new server domain & dns service
• promote additional windows 2008 domain controller in dr site
• point dr application servers used new win 2008 domain controller.
• shutdown old domain controllers( both main site , dr site)
• check application server issues (expect domain replication issues)

• start old domain controllers
• demote windows 2003 domain controllers
• move domain /forest functional level windows 2008 r2
• remove windows 2003 domain entries domain
• verify application functionalities

the plan looks good. since exchange involved, make sure make
replacement dc global catalogs well. make sure new pdc
emulator has authoritative time source configured (either hardware
clock or external time service). we're talking physical dcs
here, no virtualization involved, right?
 
cheers,
