Just to clarify: W2k3 Forestprep adds attributes to the schema When the forest func level is raised from 0 to 1 or from 0 to 2, several of those attributes are added to the PAS.
Is that correct? Having performed several forest func raises in the last couple of years, this surprised me since I'd never seen it mentioned before. neil -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joe Sent: 18 May 2006 00:46 To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] OT - W2K/E2K upgrade to W2K3/E2K3 Yep...

There are several features of Windows 2003 AD that you do not get even if you've upgraded the DCs unless you also bump up the functional levels. When you bump the forest functional level, I believe there will be a PAS expansion at that point since I recall there being some settings that are deferred until then.

Means that you can do all the schema/domain mods basically at once and upgrade all DCs to W2k3. The Exchange 2000 server itself can't be upgraded to W2k3 - that is correct, but it runs just fine in a Win2k3 AD domain/forest. But your routine will also work fine. I'd probably upgrade the OWA front-end to W2k3 right after step iv) so that you don't have to touch the box again in step xii). As long as this isn't a DC, this won't be a problem. /Guido -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jonathan Watts Sent: Freitag, 12. Mai 2006 10:10 To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] OT - W2K/E2K upgrade to W2K3/E2K3 Thanks. My plan so far is this: i) Install W2K3 on new hardware and join to domain as member server ii) Run E2K3 ForestPrep on Schema Master iii) Run E2K3 DomainPrep iv) Upgrade OWA front-end to E2K3 v) Install E2K3 to newly built server vi) Migrate mailboxes and Public Folders, using Move Mailbox wizard, to newly built server vii) Uninstall E2K from existing server viii) Run W2K3 ForestPrep on Schema Master ix) Run W2K3 DomainPrep on Inf. Master x) Upgrade PDC Emulator to W2K3 xi) Upgrade other DCs to W2K3 xii) Upgrade OWA Front End to W2K3 So this should leave me with 3 W2K3 DCs, 1 W2K3/E2K3 member server and 1 W2K3/E2K3 OWA front-end server. Guido, we don't have any legacy clients to worry about, but is my sequence wrong as regards upgrading Exchange THEN Windows as you have suggested doing Windows THEN Exchange? I thought W2K3 with E2K wasn't supported?
