Title: Re: [ActiveDir] BDC upgrade
Ive seen upromote used on a project to demote more than a hundred (yes, 100!!!) BDCs to member servers in preparation for an AD upgrade.
Worked pretty darn close to flawlessly.

I looked into this a while ago. Like you, lots of people said they had very good
experience with the product. Unfortunately, we weren't able to use it in our
environment because of problems with the Compaq SMART RAID disk array controller.

What do you mean by object level restore? Do you mean individual COM objects
or file/folder/user objects?

There are a number of ways to keep track of and audit the changes in
your environment without going to the extreme of moving back to a
centralized administration model. Administration tools like Quests
ActiveRoles or NetIQs DRA offer that sort of granular logging and
auditing right out of the box.
Sorry, good point. I wasn't clear enoug.
I'm wondering about granular restores of active directory objects or OU and child

moving further.

Al,
Thank you for your input on this matter. I did not haul off and implement. I

Thanks for the advise - my concern is that it has been working as part of

was never taken right off of the domain back to being only a work group.

Thanks for that. I thought that it might have been the case but was not sure
if there would be any ramifications of doing this. Then I was informed
another way of doing it as explained below and it sounded like a more sound
way.
I will do this and see what happens when I try and promote.
