Hello Everyone.
The company that I work for has been divided into two isolated
parts. As a result the corporate domain that is used will also need to be
divided. The employees of the old domain will remain in their place while
others will be put into a new domain. One domain will have

John Kat, thanks for the feedback.
Kat,
Previously, I didn't see before any negative with having desktop's offline folders enabled, but my problem is exactly why one shouldn't have it enabled! It doesn't entirely address the problem if a user wants to use a local machine that happens to be a
Experts,
I have a small domain with 3 Windows 2000 DCs and 2 Exchange 2000 mail
servers (across 2 sites). I'm planning on upgrading both the domain and
Exchange to 2003 and would like some recommendations from people who
have actually done this (successfully would be preferred).

1) Either can be done, but my preference is to upgrade DC's first. Why?
Just easier to troubleshoot later IMHO.
2) 3) Upgrade to new hardware is preferrable in all cases. Why? Because
you don't bring over any legacy settings, changes, hacks, tweaks, etc that

Wise words Al! Thanks for the input.
So if I was to upgrade the DC's first, then would I be able to do this
online during the day - or would this be an after hours (domain will be
down for a bit) type job?
And would I have to upgrade all 3 DCs at the same time, or can I do them
one at a

During the day? It depends what other services are running on the DCs. As long
as the switch is smooth (enable new first, disable older second) nobody will
notice it
you can do a DC at a time if you wish.
The most important one here is:

true.. they should be there. if your replication is working the CNAME records
must be available otherwise you would have little replication ;-)
Are you sure the replication scope is set to all dns servers in the forest,
secure dynamic updates are enabled, etc.

I've done it during the day at a customer, but without much experience I
would strongly recommend doing it after hours! There are always minor things
which might happen, and without experience you don't know how to respond to
them right away, so give yourself the rest and peace of after hours.
If the Exchange server is on a domain controller, you'll have to upgrade
Exchange first.

If you upgrade Exchange using my method
(http://www.swinc.com/resource/e2kfaq_appxa.htm) you can do most if not all
of the work during business hours with no significant downtime.

I think i'm missing something.

As you'll see here, there are several schools of thought on how to do this.
Here's my way of doing this:
1. I'd do the DCs first, but functionally it doesn't matter.
2. Just bring new 2003 DCs online and then transfer the FSMOs, remark as
GCs, and dcpromo the old ones down. You can do all this

As for the question about upgrading during the day, Ulf gave great advice to

I have to agree with Ed on this one (much as it pains me ;)
You asked a question and did not indicate any kind of decision points that
might warrant a particular design vs. another. You bounced around between

You have multiple DCs for redundancy. If one goes down, the others are still
available. And your domain (usually) keeps functioning without you having to
do a restore.
I'm not sure having FE/BE Exchange servers accomplishes the same goal. Most
FE Exchange servers do not have a copy the store in

Hello to all,
I need to create a cluster using two Dell PE 2650s and an

Of course I should also mention you still need a cluster vip/name for the
