Hello rq,
No, but do not worry so much about schema update. I did more often the last month from 2000 to 2003 and 2008 and also the exchange schema updates 2000 to 2003 and 2007 without any problem. The schema update will work or not and if not you get an error message to fix the problem.
Best regards

Systme state backup includes everything. Is there a way which only
backup and
restore AD schema?
Thanks,

Hello rq,
NEVER START BEFORE HAVING CREATED A BACKUP OF YOU DATA/MACHINE
So if something goes wrong, you can restore the server from system
state backup.

Thank you very much for the post.
Is there a KB article which describes how to backup and restore
schema
master?
I'm working a productive AD domain with "adprep" procesure. In case
of
failure, I need to restore schema master.
Our AD is a single forest single domain network.
Thanks again.

Hi,I assume this will be , if the upgrade fails you can completely
I'm reading the procedure information from the 2K3 Install CD,
before
doing
adprep and found that #4 step said,
"Disconnect the schema master from the network and do not
reestablish
the
connection until step 9 in this procedure."
Question:
1. why?
remove the broken/upgraded DC and still have the other one with the
correct information without replicating some new infos. So then you
can easily make the existing old server schema master and be at the
same point/version like before.
2. We only have to 2K DCs in the network the other one is runningI did schema upgrades more often the last month ago, until now i
Exchange
2K on it. Is there any risk?
think round 10 from 2000, 2003 and 2008, with adding exchange 2003
and 2007 without any problems in different domain with different
security levels. Even if you get a problem during the upgrade, it
will just stop without changing anything. So you have a complete
upgrade or none.
Thanks,

Hi All,Sounds good to me as long as the hardware can adequately run
I have similar situation. In our single forest and single
domain
network,
all DCs are W2K with some W2K3 member servers. After reading
above
messages,
I'm going to add a W2K8 server to join the domain as a member
server
(new
hardware) first, then promot it to a DC. And also move the
primary
roles from
a W2K DC to this new W2K8 DC. Next step is to promot a couple of
W2K3 member
servers to DC as well and then to retire all old W2K DCs because
the
hardware
is too old.
Is this upgrad path OK? Please advice,
Thanks

straight for 2k AD to 2k8 AD?
Server 2008 is Windows 2000 NATIVE. If you still have Windows
2000 MIXED, you need to increase the DFL first to at least
Windows 2000 NATIVE
Do you HAVE TO go to 2k3 first from 2k?NOPE
Can 2k and 2k8 DC's happily live together in mixed mode untilNO, not when DFL = Windows 2000 MIXED. YES if Windows 2000
all 2k DC's are either retired or updraded?
NATIVE
