I have some concerns about an upgrade to my Windows 2000 Root server. It has DNS and AD configured. I posed a question last year regarding a single ended domain name (mydomain). The issue being that the resolution was to upgrade to windows server 2003 to change the name of the domain to a fully qualified domain name (mydomain.com, .net ) etc. This will be done. I am not sure of the order of services to be upgraded. I will bring down my other servers to stand-alone servers and then once the upgrade is complete, I will then bring them back online with the fully qualified domain name. (1st) concern is: Active Directory preservation. (2nd) concern: In what order should the root server's names be changed? Which is first? The domain name or server name, because both need to be changed. (3rd) concern: Roaming Profiles; will the accounts be affected by this upgrade? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
