Yea... pretty much it. Ran those in on my 2003 DC. Joined the 2008 DC to the domain. That was it. Painless. You can do this on the 2003 DC live, but it did take a while to run all the scripts.

My new server arrived yesterday, and it'll be my first 2008 server in a domain/forest that currently has all 2003 machines. I'll need to make it a DC, so I want to make sure I don't miss anything. Looking at a couple of TechNet articles, it looks like I need to run "adprep /forestprep" on the schema operations master and "adprep /domainprep /gpprep" on the infrastructure operations master server. Is that all?
