Differnce between migrating and upgrading

[Guest]

do u have an article to determine the difference between upgrading and
migrating windows 2000 to windows 2003

Really quickly, in upgrading you simply drop in the WIN2003 Server CD and
let 'er rip. Obviously very simplified - but that is the jist of it. In
migrating you would probably be using a tool like the ADMT v2. In this
situation you have completely different hardware and you 'migrate' user
account objects et al from the 'source' domain to the 'destination' domain.

Upgrading is almost always better.

Why? You don't end up with "new" users and computrs accounts
(new SIDs) and security settings.

If you have any choice in the matter then upgrade.

No, in migration you do all of that stuff by hand
usually.

In upgrading their is nothing to transfer -- you just
upgrade.

You really want to UPGRADE.
