R2, ... and major DFS improvements!
Adprep / forestprep. Then domainprep begining with the forest root domain.
With 2K Schema master you might have to enable schema updates unless it was
left enabled from the Exchange 2003 schema update that someone had to have
done.
If you didn't have Exchange 2000 at any time, no need to worry about mangle
attributes.

Jon,
R2 is a newer release. It offers things such as Active Directory
Federated Services and IIFP. I have not played with it yet but it sounds
like it could be interesting. Here are two links:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/default.mspx
http://www.winsupersite.com/faq/win2003_r2.asp
With Exchange 2003 there should be no problems with the Mangled
Attributes.....but we might want verification on this!

I am running Exchange 2003 on 2k and will be running Server 2003. Is 2003
R2
actually SP2 under another name or is it a whole new release/license?

Jon,
Quick answer...more details to follow (almost time to feed the little
ones).
First run adprep /forestprep. You need to do this on the DC that holds
the
FSMO Role of Schema Master. And, you need to do this with a user
account
object that is a member of the Schema Admins (and Enterprise Admin....I
think).
Before you can run adprep /domainprep you need to make sure that this
change
has replicated to each and every Domain Controller in the environment.
Once
that has happened you can run adprep /domainprep on each Domain. You
need
to do that on the Domain Controller that holds the FSMO Roles of
Infrastructure Master and you need to be doing this with a user account
object that is a member of the Domain Admins group (for each respective
Domain).
After that there should be no time constraints. You can do it in one
week
or one year..... So, what I am saying here is that time is not a
problem.
There are four Domain Functional Levels and three Forest Functional
Levels.
Domain: Windows 2000 Mixed*
Windows 2000 Native
Windows Server 2003 Interim
Windows Server 2003
Forest: Windows 2000*
Windows Server 2003 Interim
Windows 2003
* indicates what the default setting is.
Do you have Exchange 2000 already running? Was it installed prior to
you
running adprep /forestprep? If so, you need to worry about the possible
Mangled Attributes problem. There is a ton of documentation on this...
Are you using Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2003 R2?

I have a 2000 forest with 6 domains, 2 DC's in each domain. I plan on
slowly
converting to 2k3. How soon after running forestprep and domainprep in
each
domain and deploying my first 2k3 DC in the forest root do I have to
upgrade/deploy 2k3 dc's in other domains? Will I lose functionality in
these
2000 domains if I only upgrade one per week? Can I leave some domains
as
2000
for an undefined period?
