Hi
-Ok, but according with your log results you need to solve the software
issues or they'll stop working. did you try to uninstall the software (since
you don't need it?)
-You could do the upgrade them after the upgrade you can use dcpromo to
demote the DC, and that DC will become a normal member server.

The users are already migrated into the Active Directory domain. I
previously migrated the users into AD using different HW. Presently I
have
an NT4 domain with no users authenticating to it. The issue is their data
files are located on the NT4 BDC. I want to upgrade this server to be a
2003
member server. I do not need it to become a DC.

How about you just migrate the current users from the NT4 domain and into
the Active Directory domain?
Active Directory Migration Toolkit (ADMT v3) can help with this and it is
free from Microsoft.

I have one remote site that has 1 NT4 BDC in our old but existing NT4
domain.
The server has all of their data and network printers, however users
login
to a 2003 DC located in their site. My goal is to upgrade the NT4 BDC
to
Windows 2003 as a member server in the 2003 AD. I ran into errors
during
the
upgrade of the server that I have not been able to get past. They are
as
follows:
Windows Upgrade Compatibility
********************************************************************
Replacement logon software
==========================
An application has replaced the Microsoft Windows logon software on
your
computer, such as a biometric logon or smart card logon application.
This
program might no longer function after you upgrade, which might prevent
you
from logging on to your computer. After you upgrade, even if the
program
functions, some operating system features might not be available. It is
recommended that you uninstall this software before continuing with the
upgrade.
For more information about this driver, contact the device manufacturer
or
visit the manufacturer's Web site.
For a list of software supported by this version of Windows, see the
Microsoft Windows Compatibility List at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=9946.
HP JetDirect Port
=================
The port monitor HP JetDirect Port will no longer be available in the
version of Microsoft Windows that you are installing, and the software
associated with this port will no longer run after the upgrade. If you
are
using this port monitor, check to see if the device can support TCP/IP
printing and change the configuration settings for each printer queue
after
setup has completed.
If you are unsure what protocol your devices support, visit the
Hewlett-Packard Web site at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?Linkid=37
for
more information.
For a list of devices supported by this version of Windows, see the
Microsoft Windows Compatibility List at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=9890.
Compaq's System Management Service
==================================
The software for Compaq System Management is not compatible with this
version of Microsoft Windows and will be disabled during the upgrade.
Disabling this service effects Compaq Insight Manager, Compaq System
Tools,
and Compaq Remote Monitor Service.
For more information about this software, or to obtain a version that
runs
on this version of Windows, visit the manufacturer's Web site.
For a list of software supported by this version of Windows, see the
Microsoft Windows Compatibility List at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=9946.
I have stopped all off the services related to Compaq and still receive
this
error. I am not so concerned with the HP Jetdirect Port as I can take
care
of printing issues should they occur. I am not sure what to do about
the
Replacement Logon Software issue. I do not know what it is or how to
get
around the issue. I have a regular Windows GUI login with no addins or
modifications (as far as I know).
Is it possible to upgrade this BDC (I promoted it to PDC & Sync'd
domain
B4
upgrade) some other way. Management does not want to format and
reinstall
the 2003 OS and restore the data. I'm not sure that permissions would
be
retained in this manner anyhow.
What are my best options to get this server upgraded and into AD as a
member
server?
Thanks in advance for your help.
