  1. Chapter 12 UPGRADING AND MIGRATING TO WINDOWS SERVER 2003

  2. Chapter 12: UPGRADING AND MIGRATING TO WINDOWS SERVER 2003 UPGRADE OR MIGRATE • Clean installation • Upgrade • Migrate

  3. Chapter 12: UPGRADING AND MIGRATING TO WINDOWS SERVER 2003 FROM WINDOWS NT 4.0 TO WINDOWS SERVER 2003 • Upgrading • Preparing to upgrade • Upgrading the PDC • Upgrading any BDCs • Completing post-upgrade tasks • Migrating

  4. Chapter 12: UPGRADING AND MIGRATING TO WINDOWS SERVER 2003 PREPARING TO UPGRADE • Set up a test environment. • Document the existing environment. • Back up your data. • Ensure all Windows NT 4.0 versions are running service pack 5.0 or later.

  5. Chapter 12: UPGRADING AND MIGRATING TO WINDOWS SERVER 2003 ADDITIONAL UPGRADE PREPARATIONS • Verify hardware meets requirements • winnt32 /checkupgradeonly • Microsoft Web site • Prepare DNS environment • Plan to create a new zone • Delegate DNS zone, if necessary • NS record for new zone • Host record (glue record)

  6. Chapter 12: UPGRADING AND MIGRATING TO WINDOWS SERVER 2003 LAN MANAGER REPLICATION • Used to propagate read-only information. • Typically user profiles and logon scripts to backup domain controllers (BDCs) • May be used to copy other information to other servers and workstations • Lbridge.cmd is used to copy files from Windows Server 2003 domain controllers to the Windows NT 4.0 export server. • The export server copies to all remaining import servers on the Windows NT 4.0 domain.

  7. Chapter 12: UPGRADING AND MIGRATING TO WINDOWS SERVER 2003 WINDOWS SERVER 2003 MEMBER SERVERS • You can add or upgrade member servers before you upgrade the Windows NT 4.0 domain. • Upgrade any Windows NT 4.0 RAS servers. • Windows NT 4.0, RAS servers make NULL sessions. • If you must support Windows NT 4.0 RAS, you must weaken security.

  8. Chapter 12: UPGRADING AND MIGRATING TO WINDOWS SERVER 2003 UPGRADING THE PDC • Domain structures: • Single-domain strategy • Multi-domain strategy • Upgrade the PDC of the largest accounts’ domain first.

  9. Chapter 12: UPGRADING AND MIGRATING TO WINDOWS SERVER 2003 A. DATUM CORPORATION’S WINDOWS NT 4.0 NETWORK

  10. Chapter 12: UPGRADING AND MIGRATING TO WINDOWS SERVER 2003 A. DATUM CORPORATION’S WINDOWS SERVER 2003 DOMAIN

  11. Chapter 12: UPGRADING AND MIGRATING TO WINDOWS SERVER 2003 MIGRATING EXTERNAL RESOURCES Source Domains Trust the Target Domain

  12. Chapter 12: UPGRADING AND MIGRATING TO WINDOWS SERVER 2003 UPGRADE PROCESS

  13. Chapter 12: UPGRADING AND MIGRATING TO WINDOWS SERVER 2003 MIGRATION TYPES • Interforest • Intraforest

  14. Chapter 12: UPGRADING AND MIGRATING TO WINDOWS SERVER 2003 INTERFOREST MIGRATION • Windows NT 4.0 to Active Directory • Between two different Active Directory forests • Cloning is usually the process for this type of migration • Active Directory Migration Tool (ADMT) • ClonePrincipal • Netdom

  15. Chapter 12: UPGRADING AND MIGRATING TO WINDOWS SERVER 2003 INTRAFOREST MIGRATION • Does not include Windows NT 4.0 domains • Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 domains only • Objects are typically moved (destructive) • ADMT • Movetree • Netdom

  16. Chapter 12: UPGRADING AND MIGRATING TO WINDOWS SERVER 2003 ACTIVE DIRECTORY MIGRATION TOOL (ADMT) • ADMIGRATION.MSI • Windows Server 2003 CD-ROM in the i386\admt folder • Microsoft Web site • Run from PDC emulator • Source domain Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4 (SP4) • Target domain in Windows 2000 native functional level

  17. Chapter 12: UPGRADING AND MIGRATING TO WINDOWS SERVER 2003 PREPARING TO USE ADMT • Source domain must trust the target domain • Source Domain Admins must be Administrators on destination domain • Migrating SID History • Domain$$$ group • Success and Failure auditing for user and group management must be enabled on source domain • TcpipClientSupport key must be set to 1

  18. Chapter 12: UPGRADING AND MIGRATING TO WINDOWS SERVER 2003 ADMT AND MIGRATING SID HISTORY

  19. Chapter 12: UPGRADING AND MIGRATING TO WINDOWS SERVER 2003 PASSWORD OPTIONS AND MIGRATION ERRORS

  20. Chapter 12: UPGRADING AND MIGRATING TO WINDOWS SERVER 2003 PASSWORD MIGRATION PROCEDURES

  21. Chapter 12: UPGRADING AND MIGRATING TO WINDOWS SERVER 2003 MULTI-DOMAIN DOMAIN STRATEGY

  22. Chapter 12: UPGRADING AND MIGRATING TO WINDOWS SERVER 2003 MULTI-DOMAIN STRATEGY STEPS • Create a Windows Server 2003 empty forest root domain. • Modify the domain and forest function levels. • Create delegation entries in DNS, as needed. • Upgrade the Windows NT 4.0 PDC. • Create delegation entries for BDCs and upgrade them.

  23. Chapter 12: UPGRADING AND MIGRATING TO WINDOWS SERVER 2003 MULTI-DOMAIN STRATEGY STEPS (continued) • Raise domain functional level. • Upgrade remaining domains using same procedure. • Raise forest functional level.

  24. Chapter 12: UPGRADING AND MIGRATING TO WINDOWS SERVER 2003 PREPARING WINDOWS 2000 FOR THE UPGRADE • Error message appears if you do not first run Adprep before a Windows 2000 upgrade • Adprep /forestprep • Adprep /domainprep

  25. Chapter 12: UPGRADING AND MIGRATING TO WINDOWS SERVER 2003 UPGRADING TO WINDOWS SERVER 2003 • Either Windows 2000 or Windows NT 4.0 operating systems • Required user rights • Back up files and directories • Modify firmware environment values • Restore files and directories • Shut down the system • Default Administrator and Administrators group should have all needed permissions

  26. Chapter 12: UPGRADING AND MIGRATING TO WINDOWS SERVER 2003 WINDOWS 2000 TO WINDOWS SERVER 2003 • Can be interforest or intraforest. • Prerequisites for using ADMT. • Administrator rights are required on all objects to be migrated • Must also be a Domain Admins group member in both source and target domain • Source domain must trust the target domain • As discussed earlier, there are additional requirements for migrating passwords and SID History.

  27. Chapter 12: UPGRADING AND MIGRATING TO WINDOWS SERVER 2003 SUMMARY • Upgrade or migration decisions. • Test and document before you begin. • What functional level is required for migrations? • What can you use to keep a Windows NT 4.0 domain replication in sync with a partially migrated network? • What are the extra requirements for migrating SID History? • How do you prepare a Windows 2000 forest/domain for upgrade?
