Ahh if you are only using Local profiles then you have no problem.
What I would do without Nfuse is build a new MF image with FR3 and
Windows2003. Run the farm in mixed mode (plan for this since you will
only have a couple of weeks). Upgrade servers by pushing the new image
to them, and go go go .
Users will still access the Apps from the PN client using the mixed mode
farm. You can run it for a weeks and if you upgrade a server or two a
day by pushing new images to them you should be able to do it.

Why should I worried about a profile path? Are you talking about
roaming
profiles, local profiles, terminal server profiles? I am unable to use
roaming profiles because of WAN limitations, I do not set a terminal
server
profiles path, I only use local profiles, which are deleted every night
using delprof.exe. =20
I am not sure what the best migration path would be. I wanted to go
2003/MF1.8. Then put in MFXP infrastructure. Then upgrade my
2003/MF1.8
servers to MFXP (all at once). If I want to go this route now, I would
have
to do two OS upgrades since 1.8 will not install on 2003 - so, this is
out.
Since I can not do that, I am trying to see if upgrading my NT4 TSE
boxes to
XP FR3 would be an option. I can put the XP infrastructure in, then
(one by
one) upgrade the servers to 2003/MFXP FR3. I would just like to know if
anyone has had any issues running NT4/MFXP and 2003/MFXP. =20
The NFuse option may be workable, however there may be a lot of red tape
to
get me there. I would like to avoid that for now and fight that battle
a
little later. Nfuse was already shot down by upper management about a
year
and a half ago and I have not worked with it since - so I am also a
little
rusty.
Any suggestions are welcome - I appreciate the help. =20

Hmmm..
I wouldn't do that, but that's just my opinion.
I mean it can get complicated depending on your current profile strategy
but I would use this as a chance to do some new profile stuff as
well.=3D20
Anyway I would use NFuse to front the two different farms. Then use (as
stated in the list previously) a variable to assign the profile path
based on The OS or implement a flex/hybrid profile.
The reason I say do this at once is that you may wind up doing two
migrations or one migration with some additional work. I would prefer
one migration for my sanity, and that of the users.

Hi Anthony,
Upgrade your existing 1.8 farm to XP first. It's be worth your while to
come
up wih a strategy for handling separate profiles for the 2 O.S.s. Then
you
can mix and match. NT 4.0 to 2003 is relatively painless, as long as you
don't want to migrate SQL and Exchange as well ;-).
Regards,
Rick

I am on NT4 TSE and MF 1.8 for reasons beyond my control (political). I
am
putting a plan together to upgrade to MFXP. I would like to be able to
upgrade the NT 4.0 servers to 2003 with MF 1.8, and then do an MFXP
migration. I have over 100 servers to upgrade (myself) - so I have to
do
this in stages that will not interrupt the business and will be seamless
to
the users. =3D20

Does anyone know if Citrix will make MF 1.8 available for 2003 server?
