Hi
Im looking for the best practice for upgrading my domain.with the least
amount of downtime. Cheers for any1 that can give some advice.
I have 1 single NT domain contain the following servers, each are all dell
poweredges so i will still be using the current hardware.
I have purchased 4 Win 2003 Server Licences ,Exchange 2003 Server and
Various Cals including Termianl Server CAls and Citrix Presentation Server.
My cleints include Win95, 98 2k and XP.
Server 1 ) Dell Poweredge 300 running only NT4 and sharing 1 single
Database (wont be upgraded)
Server 2 Dell poweredge 2400 Running NT4, (PDC, Domain Backup tape drive,
Wins and File Server)
Server 3 Dell Poweredge 2400 Running NT4 (DNS, and Exchange Server 5.5,
includes Backuptape drive for exchange)
Server 4 Dell Poweredge 4600 (no operating system )
Server 5 (Dell Poweredge 4600 (running Nt4 Termainl Server, Citrix Metaframe
1.8 and a bespoke program)
Will the 9x client have a problem logging on to a win2k3 domain?
Thanks again for any advice |

To upgrade a NT 4.0 domain to AD you MUST upgrade the PDC first.
See:

Domain Controller
