Windows 2000 to 2003 domain Upgrade

[Guest PMC1]

Hi,

 

I'm in the process of upgrading our domain from W2000 to W2003. Before

any upgrade tasks I had 2 x W2000 DC's. One of these servers was the

only DNS server in this domain.

 

So far all I have done is performed a DCPromo on a W2003 server

(following a forest and domain prep). Also I have installed DNS on the

new W2003 DC.

 

My query relates to Domain Trusts and how the might be effected by

this upgrade. Configured on the W2000 server is an "incoming trust" to

an external domain where we have access to a shared folder on a

server. From an AD perspective there are no other connectivity to the

external domain.

 

With the view of gradually retiring the W2000 server that was acting

also as a DNS server I changed the IP address to the W2000 to

something else and changed the address of the new W2003 DC/DNS server

to the address once held by the W2000 server (This way there was no

need to change IP configs on the client systems)

 

Everything worked fine (Internet, email etc) except for access to the

Shared folder in the External Domain. After this IP swap, when I tried

to connect to the shared folder I receive an error "There are

Currently no Logon Servers available to service the logon request"

 

When I swap the IP's back I can connect to the shared folder in the

Trusting Domain again without any problems.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks

 

Paul

Hi PMC1,

I would try to delete the external trust and recreate in on new W2K3 DC.

Maybe that will help.
