I’ve spent weeks looking around the net for a simple solution to this problem, but I cant find one. I know its probably very simple, but this is my first time doing anything with server upgrades and the likes.
We have got a simple nt4 server network; pdc, bdc, email and a couple of other member servers that dont have to be upgraded yet!!
We have got in two new servers, one to handle AD, wins, dhcp, print and file services(DNS gets forwarded to our ISP) and the other the handle the email server.
I am not worried about the email at the moment, just want to migrate the other stuff.
But every guide I see uses the upgrade route(install nt4 on a machine as bdc, the promote it and upgrade to 2003. then do the rest). Any guides to using admt seem to insist that have to have dns running on your network before you upgrade.
I just want a couple of pointers on how to migrate from nt4 to 2003. Our current nt4 pdc handles users, printers and files and our nt4 bdc handles dhcp and wins. These are all to migrated on to one 2003 server.
All help would be greatly appreciated
