|Thank You for the information but is there a document that
|outlines in detail all of the steps necessary,
|e.g. "migration / upgrading to Microsoft Windows Server
|2003". I have read the Microsoft Windows Server 2003
|Administrator Companion and this book does not help but
|just give a theoretical overview of ADS / Windows Server
|2003.

|>We need to update the schema in the existing forest
|before adding the new
|>Windows Server 2003 domain controller to the existing
|Windows 2000 domain.
|>Otherwise, we will encounter the error message:
|>
|>----------------------------------------
|>The operation failed because:
|>
|>A Schema validation check failed.
|>
|>The Active Directory Installation Wizard cannot continue
|because the forest
|>is not prepared for installing Windows Server 2003. Use
|the Adprep
|>command-line tool to prepare both the forest and the
|domain. Fore more
|>information about using Adprep see Active Directory Help.
|>
|>"The version of the Active Directory Schema of the source
|forest is not
|>compatible with the version of the Active Directory on
|this computer."
|>----------------------------------------
|>
|>To resolve the problem, we can use the ADPREP commands to
|upgrade the
|>existing Windows 2000 forest and domain to ensure that
|they contain the
|>additional objects, attributes and permissions necessary
|to support the
|>Windows Server 2003 Active Directory environment.
|>
|>(Note: Please perform a complete backup first.)
|>
|>Generally speaking, "ADPREP /FORESTPREP" is a one-time
|operation performed
|>on the schema operation master (FSMO) of the forest. The
|FORESTPREP
|>operation must have successfully completed and replicated
|to the
|>infrastructure master of each domain
|before "ADPREP /DOMAINPREP" can be
|>executed in that domain.
|>
|>To run "ADPREP /FORESTPREP", the user must be a member of
|the Schema
|>Admins, Domain Admins, and Enterprise Admins groups.
|>
|>"ADPREP /DOMAINPREP" is a one-time operation run on the
|infrastructure
|>operation master domain controller of each domain in the
|forest being
|>upgraded.
|>
|>To run "ADPREP /DOMAINPREP", the user must be a member of
|the Domain Admins
|>group of the domain in which you are running DOMAINPREP.

|>|Hello:
|>|
|>| We are currently running Windows Server 2000 with
|DCs
|>|on a single physical LAN. We will be setting up a
|Windows
|>|(3) Windows 2003 Servers at our data center with the
|>|appropriate routing / visibility that is required.
|>|
|>| What do I need to do so that I can install new
|>|Windows 2003 Servers and add them to the windows 2000
|>|Active Directory as Domain Controllers so that Windows
|>|2000 and Windows 2003 Domain Controllers are in the
|mixed
|>|environment.
|>|
|>| Eventually I would like take all of the Windows
|2000
|>|Servers / DCs OFFLINE and just run a pure Windows 2003
|>|Server Environment.
|>|
|>| Can you please advise me what I need to do to make
|>|this transition happen temporarily without "affecting"
|>|Active Directory as Windows 2003 will make schema
|>|changes / object additions or direct me to a document
|that
|>|will provide the assistance. Your assistance is greatly
|>|appreciated.
