Windows 2000 Powered NAS Upgrade

[Guest KennyW]

Hi all, is it possible (I am sure the answer is no already!) to upgarde a NAS

Dell 725 from Windows 2000 Powered NAS (Build 2195) to a Windows 2003

variant? The NAS is preventing me from raising my domain functional level to

Windows 2003 native.

 

TIA

Hello KennyW,

 

The FFL and DFL are only important for Domain controllers. Any other server

can coexist even if the level is set to Server 2003, in the moment the highest

level. NAS stands for Network attached Storage, AFAIK. So can you clarify

your configuration.

 

Best regards

Thanks Meinolf, your explaination for the requirements for a native Windows

2003 domain answered my question regarding the upgrade of the NAS OS. Could I

upgrade a domain to a native Windows 2003 domain but leave a Windows 2000

domain controller in a child domain as is?

 

I am guessing not?

 

Again TIA.
