Rep Power: 13 | You can run 2003 and 2008 at the same time no troubles so I would question the need to update them all to 2008. Just do it gradually over time as you retire servers. The best way to upgrade is to add a new 2008 R2 DC then give it master roles. The either upgrade or retire the old DC's. |

![]() | heard some good news today found that one of our old admin server is get replaced Thought we were only getting our backup/cache server replaced So that means I should have a server to change all this around with Has that means I can install server 2008 on that move some roles and services from one server, upgrade that, and move them back, and then the next server I did problery not do something that smart today, was bored, so i installed server 2008 r2 on a pc, added it do the domain and made it a domain controller to start trying to configure the windows 7 policys, havent got that far with that yet Do I need to make a complete new policy for it ie have one for xp made from server 2003 and one for w7 made from server 2008r2? confussed how the admx files work or do it sit inside the same folder has the adm in the policys folder? |
