Hi Jeff,

I think that if you make serverB a "backup domain controller", you
will get all that you desire automatically. Once it has all it's
"stuff" in place, take serverA offline and convert serverB to being
the primary domain controller.

I have to follow this by saying that I am still learning and I welcome
any corrections to my thoughts on this matter.
