Guest vks Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 I have a small network with two windows 2000 domain controller and one windows 2003 R2 member server with exchange 2003 sp2. Server1: domain controller (FSMO), DNS, win & DHCP server2: domain controller (file server) server3: windows 2003 R2 with exchange 2003 server What is the best way to upgrage the domain controller? I would like to do an upgrade than a clean install if possible. My plan is to upgrade server1 first (to a windwos 2003 domain controller). then upgrade server 2 to an additional windows 2003 domain controller. will that be the best way to upgrade? -- VKS
