Changing localization version

[Guest Peter]

Hello,

 

We have german local version of windows server 2003 server enterprise. On it

is install exchange 2003, sharepoint server, sql 2005.

Now we must change server to english version. Is there any way to do this?

Is it possible just run upgrade or setup from english CD version and it will

upgrade to english?

Thanks for answare.

So i guess the only option is to install second server in english version

and migrate AD to that one. After that migrate german exchange to english on

new server.

Does anyone know if AD schem is same for all language or classes and

attribute are different?

Hello Peter,

 

I am not sure about this, maybe the schema is language neutral.

 

An additional problem occurs if administrators use different language versions

of the operating system. In this case, the .adm with the newest timestamp

is uploaded to the Sysvol folder on the domain controller, regardless of

language. This is important because non-U.S. English .adm files typically

have a later timestamp than the U.S. English versions. This occurs because

simply opening Administrative Templates in the Group Policy Object Editor

on a non-U.S. English administrative computer results in the Group Policy

templates being updated with the local language version of the .adm files,

even if you do not actually edit any settings.

 

Best regards
