Upgrade from 2000 -> 2003 with Exchange 2000 in domain

[Alexander Oleshev]

Hello there,

I've got to convert existing 2000 domain into 2003-"compatible". Unfortunatelly, I've got Exchange 2000 installed there as well. I've checked Q325379 for instructions, but it contains some strange instruction re using ldifde command:

c:\iop>ldifde -i -f inetorgpersonprevent.ldf -v -c DC=<X> "<dn path for forest root domain>"

what I can't understand is what I need to specify after "-c" parameter and after that in quotes...

Let's say that domain name is DC=Company,DC=com. Forest contains single domain. Then what should I specify in there ?

Here is website instruction:

Type the following command, and then press ENTER, where <X> is a case-sensitive constant (dc=corp,dc=tailspintoys,dc=com) and <dn path for forest root domain> is the domain name path for the root domain of the forest:

any idea what they mean ?

Any help is much appreciated.

Kind regards,
Alexander

Hi,

I believe that the syntax is -c DC=X "dc=domain,dc=com"

I find it however just as easy to change this with adsiedit. Find the three objects in the schema container, get the displayname of the objects and change these exactly as the article says.

There is no problem running Exchange 2000 in a Windows 2003 domain. The
only requirement is that Exchange 2000 cannot be installed on a machine
running Windows 2003.

Much appreciated. ADSIEdit is much easier to use than the procedure specified on-site.
The other question is, once I've changed these attributes in AD, can I run adprep straight away ? Does adprep require server restart ? Any performance impact ?

Hi,

Wait for AD replication to occur and then run adprep.
