My company is planning some big upgrades to the servers and network soon. I have some questions regarding best practices for the design.
Our current set up is:
3 Servers
1 NT 4.0 Domain Contoller
1 Windows 2000 Server
1 NT 4.0 Server
We are not currently using active directory. I believe the DC is in mixed mode.
We are going to upgrade the DC to a new computer with Windows 2003. It will also be a lightweight file server.
We are going to replace the Windows 2000 server with a new computer with Windows 2003. This server is the main file server and also an FTP/Domino Web server.
We are going to move the windows 2000 to replace the NT 4 server.
What order should I replace the servers in?
The the DC is going to be a lightweight aplication server — are there any issues with this combination?
Are there any issues with a server being a file server and an FTP/Domino Web server?
Are there any other issues I need to be aware of?
Thank you very much for any input!
