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. Joanne

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,

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 ;)
