Migrating from Win2000->Win2003 Server

[Marlon Brown]

Besides better memory and CPU management and some bug fixes on Win2003
server, what else can I say to justify migration from a Win2000 AD domain to
Win2003 AD ?

I've done the migration in a lab and I would like to confirm if there is
anything that I should be aware of when migrating to Win2003.

Hi Marlon,

The following site has information about the new features in Windows Server
2003:

"http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/standard/
proddocs/en-us/Default.asp?url=/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/sta
ndard/proddocs/en-us/features_in_your_upgrade.asp?frame=true"

Under the "Feature comparison: Windows NT, Windows 2000, and the Windows
Server 2003 family" section, click on "Windows 2000 to the Windows Server
2003 family"

As for the question on migration, the following site provides an overview
of the upgrade process and outlines some of the basic decisions to consider—
whether you are upgrading an existing system, performing a new
installation, or carrying out a migration.

You need to download the white paper - Upgwin2k.doc.
