On Windows Server 2003 standard is there a way to determine when a domain controller was promoted?
This is for an Active Directory 2000 functional domain.
The event logs don't go back far enough.

If you don't have Event Logs, you can check the creation date of the
SYSVOL
directory:C:\> dir /T C C:\Windows\SYSVOL
Also of note is
C:\WINDOWS\Debug\DCPROMO.LOG
AD has an attribute for DC's that is called
whenCreated
that stores a date/time field.
