Guest KennyW Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 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 Kenny
Guest Meinolf Weber Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Re: Windows 2000 Powered NAS Upgrade 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.

Guest KennyW Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Re: Windows 2000 Powered NAS Upgrade 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.
