Great post.
DON'T USE IMAGES AS A BACKUP MECHANISM FOR DCs!!!!!!!!! NEVER, NEVER, NEVER
USE IMAGES FOR DCs!!!!
Any reason why?
Thanks.

The best and easiest way is to disable replication on the schema master
repadmin /options <FQDN SCHEMA FSMO> +DISABLE_INBOUND_REPL
+DISABLE_OUTBOUND_REPL (disables inbound and outbound replication)
repadmin /options <FQDN SCHEMA
FSMO> -DISABLE_INBOUND_REPL -DISABLE_OUTBOUND_REPL (enables inbound and
outbound replication)
As additional safe measures:
(1) Fully sync a DC from EACH domain and put it offline
If the schema upgrade goes bad, shutdown all DCs. Put the DCs that were
offline online again and force demote all other DCs and repromote again ->
sounds like the disaster recovery plan white paper MS has
(2) Backup at least the SYSTEM STATE of ALL DCs in the forest
If the schema upgrade goes bad, restore all domain controllers from backup
(3) Backup at least the SYSTEM STATE of at least 2 DCs in each domain in the
forest
If the schema upgrade goes bad, shutdown all DCs in the forest. Restore the
two DCs in each domain in the forest and demote all other DCs and repromote
again

Establishing some backout plan for the Windows 2003 domain upgrade.
- Does backing up system state is enough to do backout in case the upgrade
of the Forestprep did'nt work out?
I'm thinking of another plans like:
- I'm planning to have a make an image of at least one of the DC
- Disconnect one of the production DCs and keep it somewhere.
any feedback on this.
thanks
