Yup, I understand. The DC upgrade is a lot more intense, so it's good to
have experience with a member server running 2003 before tackling that.

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. 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, 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 ;)
