kevin_lane Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 we have a windows 2003 R2 DC and i am planning on moving over to a windows 2008 R DC and eventually remove the PDC from our infrastructure and then move the 2nd DC but my problem is, is that from what i have just read about moving CA to a different server depending on the version e.g 32bit to 64 bit you cant do it now has any one ever tried this because other wise I'm going to have to install 32bit version
kmount Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 Don't know about your CA question but You know 2008R2 is 64bit only right?
plexer Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 You cannot do an inplace upgrade from 32bit to 64bit O/S Ben
FN-GM Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 I dont think you can have your CA installed on a Server 2008 R2 DC

Soulfish Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 You can have a CA installed on a 2008 R2 DC. I know since we do it here
