Migrating to a new serverMigrating to a new server
Hi guys/dolls I am on the verge of migrating from my old windows 2000 server to a windows 2003 server (why not 2008?) in a few days. Actually all I will be doing is creating a new active directory user database and move the data from one server to another. Also I would like to do this procedure whilst users are working on the old server without having to turn off anything ie: migrating a user one by one. Problem is how will I be able to create a new domain and be able to move the data from a domain to another, and be able to retain admin permissions. Can you perhaps suggest some tips how I can perform this procedure with minimal problems in the way? Many thanks Paul Archibald Smith Hello Paul,
Will you change the domain name, because you talk about a new AD database and new domain? See here for 2003: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=D99EF770-3BBB-4B9E-A8BC-01E9F7EF7342&displaylang=en http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=6F86937B-533A-466D-A8E8-AFF85AD3D212&displaylang=en for 2008: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=6D710919-1BA5-41CA-B2F3-C11BCB4857AF&displaylang=en http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=AE279D01-7DCA-413C-A9D2-B42DFB746059&displaylang=en If not see this for 2003: !!!NEVER START BEFORE HAVING CREATED AND TESTED A BACKUP OF YOU DATA/MACHINE!!! One question first: Is the old server also Exchange server and will it be taken out of the domain forever, when the new server is running? - On the old server open DNS management console and check that you are running Active directory integrated zone (easier for replication, if you have more then one DNS server) - run replmon from the run line or repadmin /showrepl, dcdiag and netdiag from the command prompt on the old machine to check for errors, if you have some post the complete output from the command here or solve them first. For this tools you have to install the support\tools\suptools.msi from the 2000 or 2003 installation disk. - run adprep /forestprep and adprep /domainprep from the 2003 installation disk against the 2000 server, with an account that is member of the Schema admins, to upgrade the schema to the new version - Install the new machine as a member server in your existing domain - configure a fixed ip and set the preferred DNS server to the old DNS server only - run dcpromo and follow the wizard to add the 2003 server to an existing domain - if you are prompted for DNS configuration choose Yes (also possible that no DNS preparation occur), then install DNS after the reboot - for DNS give the server time for replication, at least 15 minutes. Because you use Active directory integrated zones it will automatically replicate the zones to the new server. Open DNS management console to check that they appear - if the new machine is domain controller and DNS server run again replmon, dcdiag and netdiag on both domain controllers - if you have no errors, make the new server Global catalog server, open Active directory Sites and Services and then double-click sitename, double-click Servers, click your domain controller, right-click NTDS Settings, and then click Properties, on the General tab, click to select the Global catalog check box (http://support.microsoft.com/?id=313994) - Transfer, NOT seize the 5 FSMO roles to the new Domain controller (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324801) - you can see in the event viewer (Directory service) that the roles are transferred, also give it some time - reconfigure the DNS configuration on your NIC of the 2003 server, preferred DNS itself, secondary the old one - if you use DHCP do not forget to reconfigure the scope settings to point to the new installed DNS server - export and import of DHCP database (if needed) (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/325473) Demoting the old DC (if needed) - reconfigure your clients/servers that they not longer point to the old DC/DNS server on the NIC - to be sure that everything runs fine, disconnect the old DC from the network and check with clients and servers the connectivity, logon and also with one client a restart to see that everything is ok - then run dcpromo to demote the old DC, if it works fine the machine will move from the DC's OU to the computers container, where you can delete it by hand. Can be that you got an error during demoting at the beginning, then uncheck the Global catalog on that DC and try again - check the DNS management console, that all entries from the machine are disappeared or delete them by hand if the machine is off the network for ever - also you have to start AD sites and services and delete the old servername under the site, this will not be done during promotion Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. ** Please do NOT email, only reply to Newsgroups ** HELP us help YOU!!! http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm Show quoteHide quote > Migrating to a new server > > Hi guys/dolls > > I am on the verge of migrating from my old windows 2000 server to a > windows 2003 server (why not 2008?) in a few days.

BTW, i think "Doll" is not the best solution for addressing the woman in a newsgroup. !!!NEVER START BEFORE HAVING CREATED AND TESTED A BACKUP OF YOUR DATA/MACHINE!!! - On the old server open DNS management console and check that you are running Active directory integrated zone (easier for replication, if you have more then one DNS server) - run replmon from the run line or repadmin /showrepl, dcdiag and netdiag from the command prompt on the old machine to check for errors, if you have some post the complete output from the command here or solve them first. For this tools you have to install the support\tools\suptools.msi from the 2000 installation disk. - run adprep /forestprep and adprep /domainprep and adprep /rodcprep from the 2008 installation disk against the 2000 schema master, with an account that is member of the Schema admins, to upgrade the schema to the new version (44), you can check the version with "schupgr" in a command prompt. - Install the new machine as a member server in your existing domain - configure a fixed ip and set the preferred DNS server to the old DNS server only - run dcpromo and follow the wizard to add the 2008 server to an existing domain, make it also Global catalog. - if you are prompted for DNS configuration choose Yes. If not, install DNS role after promotion. - for DNS give the server time for replication, at least 15 minutes. Because you use Active directory integrated zones it will automatically replicate the zones to the new server. Open DNS management console to check that they appear - if the new machine is domain controller and DNS server run again replmon, dcdiag and netdiag (copy the netdiag from the 2003!!! to 2008, will work) on both domain controllers - Transfer, NOT seize the 5 FSMO roles to the new Domain controller (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324801 applies also for 2008) - you can see in the event viewer (Directory service) that the roles are transferred, also give it some time - reconfigure the DNS configuration on your NIC of the 2008 server, preferred DNS itself, secondary the old one - if you use DHCP do not forget to reconfigure the scope settings to point to the new installed DNS server - export and import of DHCP database for 2008 choose "netshell dhcp backup" and "netshell dhcp restore" command (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772372.aspx) Demoting the old DC - reconfigure your clients/servers that they not longer point to the old DC/DNS server on the NIC - to be sure that everything runs fine, disconnect the old DC from the network and check with clients and servers the connectivity, logon and also with one client a restart to see that everything is ok - then run dcpromo to demote the old DC, if it works fine the machine will move from the DC's OU to the computers container, where you can delete it by hand.

The easiest part is as described in my previous reply. - On the old server open DNS management console and check that you are running Active directory integrated zone (easier for replication, if you have more then one DNS server) or change it this way to AD integrated, open the DNS management console, rightclick the forward lookup zone, choose properties, General tab, you see TYPE and on the right side the CHANGE button. The same make also for the reverse lookup zone If the zone is AD integrated you have just to wait on the new server at least 15 minutes and AD will replicate all zone information to the new server.
