Dear all, I've had a bit of spare time on my hands this weekend and have been for a long time wanting to set up my own blog, well I've finally done it. Any opinions/comments to my posts are welcome. Please follow my link here: Design…Create…Grow Just trying to get a bit of an audience built up around the site and then will increase the content. Thanks for looking.

Thank you both for your replies. I have between now and summer and then 4 weeks within summer to carry this out. I have the new Vanilla servers in the building with server 2008 pre-installed and partitioned ready for the change over. What I ideally need now is some advice how to go about this in the correct order to get it right first time. I am fully aware and appreciate this is going to be no small task. Luckily our staff laptops don't join the domain so in that respect thats 80 less machines to worry about. In total I have around 900 users to move and 360 machines to re-image. If I join the new servers to the network, promote them all to DC's put active directory on all 3, DNS on all 3 and leave DHCP off, should I then be able to start setting up GPO's and RIS to roll out Windows 7 via PXE boot. Any help as I say is greatly appreciated.

Dear all, I currently maintain a CC3 network at a secondary school, however we are in the process of planning the move to a standard Vanilla network. Could anyone lend any advice or tips on the following: - * Whats the best way to move the students work/profiles? * Is there a way of beginning this network change if we use a different subnet mask and IP range? What is the best way of getting our new servers up and running without them conflicting with our current DCs? * Should DNS/DHCP be installed on all of the new servers or just the Forrest Root (4 servers in total) * Is there a 'proper' way to set up IP addresses and Subnets or can we be quite free with what we choose? Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks.
