For starters you should always use the newest ADC out there. That one came with Exchange 2003 SP1. regardless of AD or exchange version.
Other then that I started to drool after the first 5 lines. Skipped to the bottom and read something. I think the my first statement answers your question. -- Kevinm WLKMMAS Exchange MVP HTTP://WWW.WLKMMAS.ORG -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Microsoft Exchange List Server Sent: Wednesday, September 08, 2004 12:05 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: when to deply ADC using exchange2003 CD. Hi 1 forest, 1 tree, multiplechilddomains Some of the childomains are in "windows2000 mixed" some others in "Windows2000 native mode" some others in "Windows2003 functional mode", each domain has its own Exchange55 server all the exchange55 servers belong to the same Exchange Organization. The forest has been "setup /forestrprep" for exchange2003. I can confirm the "rangeupper" attribute value is already 6870. Please can I use the following sequence to install ADC on the childdomains running windows2000 AD (either mixed or native), notice Exchange2003 "setup /forestprep" has been already executed at the root. on the childdomains: 1) install ADC on a member server (using EA credentials) using the exchange2003 cd, configure two-way CAs. (exchange55 <-->DC) 2) execute "setup /adprep" using the windows2003 cd 3) execute "setup/ domainprep" using the exchange2003 cd. 4) upgrade the dcs to windows2003 and switch to windows2003 functional mode 5) install exchange2003 by joining the existent exchange55 server in that childdomain. Or do you think this sequence *must* be different for any technical requirement that I am missing. For example --I am just suppossing-- ADC-exchange2003 cannot be installed on a Windows2000AD...unless windows2003 /adprep has been executed..or some other possible technical requirement. thx _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang=english To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
