Awesome, thanks! From: Crawford, Scott [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, June 30, 2012 8:08 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Upgrading DC's to 2K8
You'll want to read up on migrating certificate services then. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee126170(v=WS.10).aspx From: David Lum [mailto:[email protected]]<mailto:[mailto:[email protected]]> Sent: Friday, June 29, 2012 8:23 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Upgrading DC's to 2K8 Noted! I would repeat the same cycle for the subdomain and then I would have: MYDOMAIN.LOCAL ML-DC01 (2008 R2) ML-DC02 (2003) ML-DC03 (2008 R2) SUBDOMAIN.MYDOMAIN.LOCAL SML-DC01 (2008 R2) SML-DC02 SML-DC03 (2008 R2) Does it make sense to cycle through and do the DC-02's so when complete it looks like the original, except all of them being 2008 R2? I'm thinking yes due to how much infrastructure points to those names and/or IP's. MYDOMAIN.LOCAL ML-DC01 (2008 R2) (same IP as original) ML-DC02 (2008 R2) (same IP as original) SUBDOMAIN.MYDOMAIN.LOCAL SML-DC01 (2008 R2) (same IP as original) SML-DC02 (2008 R2) (same IP as original) I do know ML-DC02 is a certificate server but I am largely certificate-illiterate, what special considerations do I have with that? This'll teach me to ask to be the lead on the newly formed AD team :) Dave From: Michael B.

Ideally I think we'd like to upgrade them to W2K8 DC's and keep the same name (we have a fair amount of LDAP-y stuff that looks at names). What about this plan for ML-DC01? 1. Create 2008 R2 DC ML-DC03 2. Move the FSMO/DHCP roles to ML-DC03 3. DCPROMO W2K3 ML-DC01 to member status 4. Build new 2008 R2 ML-DC01 with same name and IP, Make it a DC 5. Move FSMO roles back to ML-DC01 David Lum Systems Engineer // NWEATM Office 503.548.5229 // Cell (voice/text) 503.267.9764 ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
