You need to upgrade the schema first (before you install the first 2k3
DC). Do an adprep /forestprep from the 2003 CD on the 2000 box. From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alborzfard, Alex Thanks for the advice! Excuse my
ignorance, but how do I upgrade the schema, while I’m installing the
WIN2K3 server? Ditto for migrating FSMOs. Does it mean that I would have a 2K and
2K3 AD domain coexisting for a while until I remove 2K AD? When you said move DNS, WINS, DHCP, you
meant Just installing them on the new server, right? Did you also have to migrate Exchange
(from 2K to 2K3) by any chance? If so, in what sequence you did the upgrade? Thanks --Alex From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Peter Johnson I would, if budget allows, go the second
route. Do the schema upgrade bring up new windows 2003 server. Migrate FSMO
roles to it. Move DNS,WINS etc to the new server and then DCPROMO, one at time,
your other servers out. Reinstall them with W2K3 and dcpromo them back in. Did
this with a 700 user network with no downtime. Regards Peter Johnson P.S Look out for the article on migrating your
DHCP database. From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alborzfard, Alex I have a W2K AD that I want to migrate to
W2K3 AD. What’s the best option: In-place upgrade of the W2K DC or
standing up a brand new W2K3 DC server And then upgrade the W2K DC to W2K3? By the way the W2K DC is also running DNS,
DHCP, & WINS. I have one more DNS server. If I go the second route do I
need to set up a DNS server or can I use the existing ones? Thanks --Alex |
