Uplift w2000 terminal server to w2003

[Guest eddie]

We are running w2000 terminal server with citrix xpe, all our other servers

in the farm are running w2003 with citrix xpe.

Has anyone experienced major problems uplifting a 2000 box onto 2003?

 

 

Thank in advance

I would not do this, or recommend it. If you've ever upgraded a workstation

with software installed from 2000 to XP then you know the kinds of issues

you're facing. It will take less time and provide better results to do a

clean install of 2003 + CPS + Apps then the upgrade the OS and try to fix all

of the little problems that occur.

I think you'll be much happier. Plus, it's always nice to have a newly

planned, tested build to reference.
