Web hosting domain names - Part 3: Windows Server 2003 Upgrades and Migrations
Part 3: Windows Server 2003 Upgrades and Migrations Upgrading to Windows Server 2003 From the command line, run ADPREP /FORESTPREP. A detailed step-by-step log file (Adprep.log) is created by Adprep during the forest update operations and is written to the %SystemRoot%System32DebugAdprepLogsDateTime folder. If you encounter errors during the forest update process, review the log file for information to assist in troubleshooting the problems. As part of the forest preparation process, a couple of new containers (ForestUpdates and Windows2003Update) are created in Active Directory (under the Configuration container). These containers can be viewed using the Adsiedit tool: CN=ForestUpdates CN=Operations CN=Windows2003Update The presence of these containers provides verification that the ADPREP /FORESTPREP command successfully completed the update. When Adprep has successfully completed the operation, it displays the following line at the end of the screen messages: Adprep Successfully Updated The Forest- Wide Information. Once you are certain that the upgrade of the forest information has been completed successfully, you must let it propagate throughout the forest. The domains in Active Directory cannot be upgraded until the forest upgrade has completely replicated to all domain controllers in the forest. To provide the forest updates to the remaining domain controllers in the forest, the Schema Master must be connected back to your actual production network. Once reconnected, you must allow time for the information from the updated Schema Master to be replicated to all of the domain controllers in the forest (including domain controllers that communicate across slow links). Preparing the Domain(s) The domain preparation process must be completed for each of the domains in your Active Directory forest. The domain-updating process using Adprep is performed on the Infrastructure Master. Like the Schema Master in the forest preparation process, the domain Infrastructure Master should be backed up, taken offline, and put on the private network, and then the updating process should be performed. To perform the domain updating, you must log on to the Infrastructure Master domain controller with an account that is a member of both the Domain Admins and Enterprise Admins groups. Using Adsiedit, verify that the forest update completed successfully prior to preparing the domains by checking under the Configuration container for the existence of the Forest- Updates container and for the Windows2003Update container under ForestUpdates.
