If it is possible to prepare a W2k3 DC to ad a W2k8 membre server,

is it posible to make the W2k8 to take all the rules over so the W2k3 DC can

be removed?

Hello DanC,

 

Yes, start here:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731188.aspx

 

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc755199.aspx

 

In short:

-run adprep command from the 2008 disk against the 2003 schema master

-make sure you run AD integrated zones in the 2003 DNS server

-add 2008 as member server with preferred DNS only the 2003 DC/DNS on the NIC

-run dcpromo

-install DNS afterwards and wait for replication of zones, at least 15 minutes

-move the 5 FSMO roles

-make the 2008 Global catalog server

-reconfigure the clients to use the new DNS server

-run dcdiag /v and repadmin /showrepl to check for errors

-disconnect the old DC from the network and check if still everything works

-if yes, then reconnect the old DC and run dcpromo to delete it correctly

form AD

-delete the server from AD sites and services

-check that DNS is cleaned up from the old servername on all tabs

 

Best regards

Tnx Meinolf;

 

That's a great help.

The word migration seems to be unkown now by Microsoft.
