Guest john manny Posted August 17, 2007 Posted August 17, 2007 Hi all, I would appreciate me very much if someone could help me out with the following: I will be upgrading my child domain to windows 2003. However I’m not sure on how to go about it. Here is my situation: 1. I have no access to the forest nor the root/forest domains. They are controlled by head office. 2. I have full control on my local child domain only. 3. The forest/root domains are windows 2003. 4. my domain is window 2000 I was planning to do in place upgrade and run adprep /domain. Now is there anything I should take into consideration. Like, need to have access to the root/forest domains or a better way to do this instead of in place upgrade. How can I recreate this in a lab? Please advice Thanks, john

As always, BACKUP before ! In case of huge trouble, be sure someone at the headquarter will be available to help you (like putting the domain back in the forest) Here is good start: http://www.commodore.ca/windows/windows_2003_upgrade.htm -- Cordialement, Mathieu CHATEAU http://lordoftheping.blogspot.com "john manny" <johnmanny@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:386308E0-0877-4670-8E4C-908FEB421260@microsoft.com... > Hi all, > > I would appreciate me very much if someone could help me out with the > following: > > I will be upgrading my child domain to windows 2003.
