Time to upgrade, where is my hammer?

by aaron_wurthmann . Updated 26 years ago

Time for me to upgrade my NT 4 servers to 2000. My clients are either 98 or 2000. What I am looking for here are experiences that you have had, articles I should read fist, what I should look out for based on my server description below and roughly what time frame should I expect. (Am I going to have to spend the weekend here?) All servers are Dells with at least 400mhz PIIs, 256 mb ram, 6 gigs of disk SCSI hard drives with a Adaptec 2930 built in on the mother board. I ran the Windows 2000 Readiness Analyzer and didn’t get an problems other than a warning on making sure that I am on SP3 for Exchange and it also told me to upgrade the PDC first. I also dloaded the How to Upgrade from Windows NT Server 3.51 or 4.0 doc from MS, I am reading now.

Name and main function / Other Purposes and software installed
PDC / DHCP, Data Server, Diskeeper 5, NAI NetShield, DHCP Manager
BDC / Exchange 5.5 Sp3, IIS, NT option pack, OWA / NAI GroupSheild
WEB / Stand-alone server, WINS server, IntrAnet web ser
