RE: [ActiveDir] R2 vs w2k3 SP1

Title: R2 vs w2k3 SP1

 

when the R2 binaries are installed on the server the only thing that happens is that the R2 options are INTEGRATED (not installed). The options still need to be installed additionally. So yes, the only difference is the list in Add/Remove Programs.

[Neil Ruston] is that documented as being the only change? I can see new login bitmaps etc which indicate (IMO) that certain files on CD1 differ from the original w2k3 files.

 

There is a small bug....

There will be a difference in tombstone lifetime depending on which server is used to create the forest. This is a bug within R2 that introduces an incorrect (nothing dangerous) SCHEMA.INI

If you use a SP1 server to create the forest the tombstone lifetime will be 180 days

If you use a R2 server to create the forest the tombstone lifetime will be 60 days (<not set>), while 180 days is expected.

[Neil Ruston] yep, discussed this internally already :) 

 

don't understand your 2nd Q

[Neil Ruston] let's say I have a build source share which houses the server build and has sp1 slipstreamed into w2k3. I now wish to build r2 servers only and so I'm asked to slipstream r2 into that build repository. Is this even a meaningful statement? I ask because of the above and the fact that I believe an r2 server may appear differently to a w2k3 sp1 server even if CD2 is *not* applied.

Subject: [ActiveDir] R2 vs w2k3 SP1

Question 1:
Server 1 is built with R2 CD1. CD2 is not used at all.

Server 2 is built with R2 CD1 and r2setup is executed from R2 CD2 as well.

Will these 2 servers be configured differently in any way, other than the additional hooks in 'add/remove programs'?

Question 2:
If I have a build created with sp1 slipstreamed, does the statement 'slipstream R2 into the build' make any sense? I believe it does not make sense but others disagree :)

Thanks,
neil
