I have a Windows 2000 domain with 6 servers running Windows 2000 spread
across 3 sites. I want to move to Windows 2003 and, reasonably soon,
replace all the 2000 servers with new servers so I don't really want to
upgrade the existing servers if I can avoid it.

Hi!
I'm looking for a tool that can inventory the AD and put it in a report or textfile.
The info I want is name of domain(s), site(s), DC's, DNS, WINS, DHCP, which server are
GC's, FSMO role holders etc.etc.
I know there is tools for getting some of this info but I want a tool for
I would say follow the article and upgrade at least your PDCe and your
Domain Naming Master, then add a couple of new 2003 Domain Controllers
and transfer the roles to them. Then you can retire the upgraded
DC's...

I am not sure anything like that exits currently. However if you look at the
notes from the field for Windows 2000 you will find a CD with a web site
called dsinfo on it. That would be a start for you and then you can modify
it to do the rest that you feel is missing.

Additionally, there are tools that do this such as ecora. However, for a
free set of tools, using the dsinfo tool and modifying it would work pretty
well. You could also just stitch together the scripts already freely
available on the web to do this. There's command line tools in the reskit

I mention the IPSec method as a way to make it easy to get all of the

i've recently runned into a weird problem i wasn't able to track down yet.

The problem may not necessarily be configuration related. Are there any
startup scripts? More specifically, are there any settings that
require/force the respective machines to connect to any specific network
hosts. I'm wondering if the problem may relate to the inconsistently

I have seen this problem when there is a DNS error that causes the
machine to go to an alternate server for Group Policy processing.
I have also experienced it when their is a firewall between the client
and the server and the appropriate RPC ports were not opened.
Hope that helps.

Dito on the Firewall: I've had this with a client who insisted that they
don't have any XP or W2k Clients - after the AD migration we found 500 W2k
Laptops connecting via a Firewall - logon took 15 - 20 min. Switched the
domain to NT4 Emulation until the Firewall was changed and everything was
OK.
I've read where AD DNS will sort replies to A record requests based on
the IP address of the caller. The idea being that if multiple A records
exist for a name, the first in the list will be closest to the caller.
Makes sense, but I've never seen any documentation on how the comparison
is done.
I knew the limitations of what the SMTP links could replicate, but I hadn't
followed it through to the end- placing DCs on each side. I don't believe
hosting each other's DCs will ever be an issue, but it's an interesting
point- thanks!
