[windows2000] Re: Windows 2000 domain upgrade

Thanks Joanne,
That way I can intruduce new 2003 servers well before my upgrade.

I did some member server upgrades (Dec04 and Jan 05, All my Citrix servers , 
Backup server and a file server and  one of the webservers) Then upgraded my 
DCs this month. I had no issues.  My only potential gotcha was the TS licenses. 
But with 2003 TS you no longer have to have Terminal Services licenses on a DC.

Hi Guys,


 


just a little extra information required. Someone suggested upgrading my DC's 
before I do my member servers, but would it be ok to intruduce new Windows 2003 
servers into the old domain even before the upgrade.


 


The fact is that we have a dead server we are looking to replace, hardware 
arrives tomorrow, just thought it would be alot easier to stick windows 2003 on 
@ this stage. Any implications when I come to do the upgrade?


 


 


Sorry I am such a newbie to this.

At home I used Virtual PC to run two temp DCs on my WinXP-box, while I upgraded 
from the win2k-domain to the win2k3 domain. Cheapo-solution, and slow, but it 
works. VMWare should do the same thing. You might want to look into either of 
the solutions!


 


HTH.

Well thanks for the information. I inherited a domain that was upgraded from 
NT4 to win2k, I am begining to suspect that a straight forward upgrade might 
not be the way to go. The only problem I forsee is lack of resources to carry 
out a full test lab / new builds.


 


I am particularly worried about the exchange 2000 server, which was upgraded 
from 5.5 and seems to have bits and pieces left behind.


 


 


Thanks anyway for the info, I am begining to grasp to the full extent of the 
domain upgrade.

Speaking of which, upgrading from win2k DCs to win2k3 DCs has a tendency (known 
to MS) to leave GPO-templates and policies from win2k. Ie they are not upgraded 
to the win2k3-level. If you upgrade this way, you may want to look this up.


 


This has been the case when I did the upgrade on two domains, from win2k to 
win2k3.


 


All kinds of weird problems can arise, w/o any apparent reason...


 


Dunno if you were going this upgrade path, but thought it was worth mentioning, 
as doing a fresh install isn't always an option.


 


HTH.

By the way what seems to be the great scare with in-place upgrades?




In place upgrades make me feel dirty!

I guess it's a throwback from 9x? Having a domain controller that potentially 
has "bits" left behind from a previous generation OS doesn't fill me with 
confidence.. 
I've not actually done a domain upgrade yet, so I don't know how good upgrades 
are nowadays - it's just the icky feeling it gives me ;)
