Remember, DNS is the absolute backbone to getting this to work. Make sure you understand how DNS is to be setup *before* you start deploying AD.

Most of the stuff that applies to Windows 2000 Server will be the same for Windows Server 2003. However, Windows Server 2003 has more tools and utilities for working with AD, and that can be researched separately.
