Migration from Windows NT domain to a Windows 2003 domain
Hi!

I will migrate from an existing windows nt domain to a windows 2003 domain.

the current windows nt domain:

1 windows nt server (main domain controller )
4 divisions with a 10 windows 2000 workstation

I think I can handel it so:

add a windows 2003 server to the existing domain and make it as a backup domain controller.
after this take the main windows nt server offline and upgrade the windows 2003 BDC to the primary domain controller.


But I have read this is impossible.

;(

can someone tell me the best workaraund for this huge migration to win 2003 ?

(the best for me is when not all devisions are upgraded / migrated at the same time to the win 2003 domain. at best when it happens step by step.
at first 1 devision and so on).



Kind Regards,



gicio

Why can't you just upgrade the main server straight to 2003?

well I'm not sure then. I've never done this, so I don't want to start suggest something that is going to lose you your whole network. I'll move this to networking and see if anyone else can help.
