Re: Moving from Windows Server 2003

Jim,

Have you or SG ever had the problem of not getting either of those
events to show up (1119 or 1869) to confirm that the new server is
advertising as a GC? It happened to me on the first migration. I'm
doing another one tonight and was wondering if you had ran across it.

Thanks!

Hi
Have a small network with Windows Server 2003 and about 6 XP PCs that now
needs to move to SBS 2003 R2
I know that an SBS server can be added to an existing AD domain
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/884453) but this looks pretty complex..!

So - question:
Is there an elegant way of doing this which keeps the PCs "intact" ? (ie
without having to create new profiles etc)
Or do I have to remove PCs from existing Server 2003 network, shutdown
existing server, install new SBS server, rejoin PCs to new domain and
reconfigure/sort profiles ?

Any thoughts appreciated !I think I can do it in an hour. I have not put a stopwatch to it. The AD
migration stuff that is. If you did not know I am agreeing with SG.- Hide quoted text -- Show quoted text -
