We have a Radius VPN server running on WinNT4 on an NT4 Domain and we are about to ugrade to an Win2003 domain.
The question is: What will we have to do to ensure that the migration will be as smooth as possible?
Is Radius will be compatible to Active Directory?
Will we be able to leave the Radius VPN server as is ?
Or will we have to reconfigure our VPN services ?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Srichard,

Without going into a really long and drawn out techincal dialouge about this I will just say that NT RRAS server and 2003 IAS are very different animals with respect to how they are set up.

I mean RADIUS is RADIUS so the general configuration should be reasonably intuitive for setting it back up. (If you know RADIUS that is) Kind of oxymoronic, I know.

I have not personally migrated from NT to 2003 but my gut tells me that the world of differences in the OS and the way that IAS is deployed will be the juggernaut for you.

I would do alot of reading on 2003 IAS to determine the real differences in the new inter related services that are offered in 2003.

Best of luck to you my freind. I am curois to see how you make out.

Best regards,

P
