I have a single domain controller running Windows 2000
Advanced Server. This server also runs DNS & DHCP and Active Directory and other domain stuff. I bought a new server and bought with it Windows 2003 Enterprise. I want to migrate everything from the old server to the new one and I was reading that ADPREP will do it all for me. I understand that if I run "ADPREP /forestprep" first then I can run "ADPREP /domainprep" on the Window 2000 Advanced Server system this will get it up to par with how 2003 is setup. Then I can setup Windows 2003 Enterprise as another Domain Controller in the forest and the data should replicate over from the preped 2000 system to the new 2003 system. If all goes well, I planned on disconnecting and removing the old 2000 Adv. Server from the scene. If this is right or wrong or missing some step please let me know - I dont want to bring down our doamin and cause a bigger problem. I realize that I could do it step by step and redo everything by hand - but that would take a long time and I'd rather set the new unit up - replicate - then disconnect the old unit so the new one is the new controller. |
