If you have 3 DCs, you can just replace them one at a time. I would do it
like...
1. Shut down 03 (demote first if possible), replace it with a new server
with the same name and IP, then rejoin it as a new DC.
2. Transfer FSMO roles to 03, then shut down 01. If you want to be extra
cautious, leave it down for a day or two to make sure there are no issues.
3. Replace 01 the same way, then move the FSMO roles back to it.
4. Replace 02 the same way.
