Good Day to All,

i have 5 DC (W2k) in three sites under one domain. i am planning to upgrade
the them to W2003. Kindly advice :
1. Do i need to run the adprep on the Main server(OperationsMaster) in one
site or do i need to do it on all my DCs.
2. Does all the other DC need to upgraded to windows 2003 immedaitely or can
i do it later stage.
3. After running the adprep on the Main server, how long can i wait before
starting the upgrade process. If i wait does it affect any process or
updation or anything...

Best Regards,
Roshan
