Migrating to 2003

[dorato]

Hi,
We want to migrate our windows 2000 server running the domain controller to 2003 server. Has anyone done this that could tell me how the process goes and if it all worked out fine?

thank you.

Microsoft has this documented extensively on their website.

Yeah; I don't think you'll find anybody on here who will know much about doign it but Microsoft do have enough stuff on their site about it. If not there's always Support.

yep when all else fails RTFM (read the freaking manual) and then ask people what the manual means. one of the best stratagies anyone can have and use.

Personally I don't use Manuals They never tell you what you really need to know. Which is how to take it apart - and how to put it back together again.

On the lite side this is a pain in the butt especially because its a domain controller. It will have to transfer active directory. I never personally did this but just make sure you back up your Active Directory otherwise it could get very ugly.
