Hello Aimjay3232,

Is the new server R2 version? The run the adprep command from the
second R2 disk. adprep /forestprep and adprep /domainprep to upgrade
the schema to version 31. On the exisiting one run "schupgr" in a
command window to check the actual version.

Best regards

Thanks again for your responses,
I have an error when i try to add the new server as an aditional
dc....
It says that i have to run the command adprep because the version of
active
directory scheme is not compatible with this server (the new one)
Tnaks again!!

Hi,

Thanks for posting here.

<and then tree of domains in and existing forest?>

In order to install an additional DC, you can choose 'existing
forest'. More information about how to promote a DC as additional
DC, please refer to:

< After all this all Active directory should replicate in the new

Yes, after you successfully promote a DC as an additional DC, the
data of your exiting domain will automatically replicate to the new
DC.

As for backup, user account stores in Domain. you don't need to
worry about security problem.

--->Thanks a lot for everything Meinolf..!!!! Clear as water.
--->A few more questions about your response (sry but i speak
spanish
and

--->
--->-When u say to install the new machine as a member server of my
existing

domain
controller

existing
forest? (sry
--->if the translation is not good, i did it myself cause i have it
in
spanish)
--->If its not like this how should i do it? Sory but i always
installed
one only

up
things.
--->After all this all Active directory should replicate in the new
one
right?
--->
--->- To backup all data files before i start this procedure. How
would you

mean,
i
want
--->(also backuping it in a dlt tape) to grab all data and put it
on
a Hard
disk

any
machine...
