RE: [ActiveDir] Root Domain on W2K3 SP1 and Child not

[David Adner]

2K3 and 2K3 SP1 DC's should interoperate with no issues besides the potential list of known issues with SP1 in general.  ie:  SP1 includes the original version of MS05-019.  So if that patch caused you grief then you could potentially see communication issues between the DC's unless you installed the updated version of the patch.  SP1 also includes changes in RPC that cause some firewalls to drop the packets until they're patched.  Assuming you've done your testing and due diligence and either aren't affected by the known issues or have addressed them then there should be nothing inherently wrong with RTM and SP1 side by side, even within the same Domain.

I’ve hung in the background for a few years and have tried to soak it all in…tried I said! Quick question = we are running Function level W2K3 with a root domain and 2 child domains. We have yet to install SP1 but plan on it this weekend. With 1 of the child domains we see the possibility of some problems due to old HW so we want to postpone SP1 on that child until we refresh the 9 DC’s with new HW. We should have this done in the next 30 days or so. In the meantime we are still planning to roll out SP1 to the other child and to the root. I don’t see any problems with this plan and have found nothing in MY searches to scare us off. Can there be issues with this config? I know it is not optimal but any big issues to worry about? I appreciate any feedback I can get.   Once again thanks!   Paul A Simpsen IT - Infrastructure Services Team University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center 800 NE 15th St. Suite 620 Oklahoma City, OK. 73104 (405)271-2262 x 50230 Fax (405)271-2181   CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail communication and any attachments may contain confidential and privileged information for the use of the designated recipients named above.
