Windows 2003 R2 x64 Edition -

[Guest SJMP]

Will I run into a problem installing Windows 2003 R2 x64 Edition server and

adding it as a domain controller in a windows 2003 32bit env - not running r2?

 

Thanks,

 

SJMP

No, this will work fine. Of course you will not benefit from R2's new

AD-related features.

Hello,

 

Thank you for your post and as well as to Marc for the inputting.

 

Marc is right, these is no limitations to add the Windows Server 2003 R2

X64 Edition server as a Domain Controller in your existing environment.

Most applications can work well on both x64 or 32-bit platform. For more

details about this, please refer to:

 

Windows 64-bit: Frequently Asked Questions:

http://www.microsoft.com/servers/64bit/faqs.mspx#E6

 

You can also add the Windows Server 2003 R2 as a Domain Controller to the

existing Active Directory domain without any changes. Since the current

domain schema is already Windows Server 2003 R2, the schema information

will be replicated from the current Domain Controller during the process of

promotion.

 

I hope this helps. If any part of this explanation is not clear, please

feel free to let me know.

 

Thank you and have a nice day!

 

Sincerely,

George Yin
