My main concern was if it would apply new security settings to sysvol or more importantly, adjust settings in the Default Domain Policy or Default Domain Controllers Policy.

From: Paul Hutchings [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, May 06, 2011 8:28 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Introducing 2008 R2 DC into Domain? I need to promote a 2008 R2 box to be my first 2008 R2 DC in a native 2003 forest/domain. I've found a few guides but I'd appreciate any first-hand feedback from anyone who's had any gotcha's etc. http://msmvps.com/blogs/mweber/archive/2010/02/10/upgrading-an-active-directory-domain-from-windows-server-2003-to-windows-server-2008-or-windows-server-2008-r2.aspx Suggests that it should be as straightforward as running the adprep steps followed by dcpromo, but of course things aren't always straightforward.
