We are not using ADAM so I have a pretty straight forward upgrade from
Windows 2003 (no service pack) to Windows 2003 Service Pack 2 on our
domain controllers. I just a few questions on the installation of the
service pack.
1. Does it matter what order I update the servers (DC1, DC2)?
No
2. Will any logon services or DNS services be interupted while the
service
pack is installing? (it takes a while for the service pack to
inventory,
unpack and install and i am wondering how user will be impacted)
Check before starting the update, that both DC's are Global catalog servers and if not done make the second also DNS server. I would prefer Active directory integrated zones. Then during the reboot no user should have problems, except the server stores some files from the users (shared folders). They will ofcourse be not accessible during the reboot.
3. Do both primary and secondary DC need to be on the same service
pack.
No, they will work together even if they are different.
I plan on doing them together but maybe I should do one, wait to see if
we have
any issues, then do the second server.
Good idea, i would do it also this way.
Thanks, Mike
