| Hello All,
| Thanks ahead of time for responses. We are moving/relocating in a few
months and would like some suggestions on the best way to move/migrate our
servers at the same time with minimal headache (if that is possible) .. We
have the following:
|
| 1 DC - DHCP/WINS/ROOT AD/Schema/GC/Infra/RID/PDC
| 1 DC - GC
| 1 DNS
| 1 Exchange 2000 (Back-End)
| 1 Exchange 2000 (Front-End)
|
| We also have 4 remote offices running with a DC and Exchange server at
each site.
|
| We are physically moving to a new location and would like to plan the
best approach with minimal downtime. We'd like to upgrade alot of things
(hardware, OS, etc) but due to time contraints and manpower, we just need
minimal upgrade and do the rest later once we're settled. We have (2) new
servers ready for the upgrade to Win2k3.. eventually I would like to
replace our existing (2) DC's with these (2) new servers. Also note, we've
also done adprep/forestprep and we have no issues/use for the attributes
that were referenced under Exchange (iNetOrgPerson?)
|
| My thoughts are:
| 1. Install both new Win2k3 member then DCPROMO.
| 2. Transfer FSMO roles to one of the new servers.
| 3. Keep all (4) online.
| 4. For testing, move one of the new servers to the new site (new IP)..
treat it as a branch office? test updates, etc.
|
| After that I assume everything will fall in place? if it works then we
can move them over? During that transition period, we will keep our
existing IP structure.. for testing purposes we'll have a small subnet for
testing. Are there issues that I need to be aware of as far as IP/DNS ?
Should another internal DNS server be setup (Win2k3) for this as well at
the new site?
|
| Also thinking about doing Exchange 2003 upgrade, but may wait till move
is done when we're settled.
|
| Any other steps i may have missed, please advise.
|
| Again thanks for everyone's help.
|
| Bill
