Upgrading windows server 2003 domain controller to windows server 2008

Hello friedns :
We have a company with about 2000 users , and two windows server 2003 domain controllers , one of them acts as a primary domain controller , and the other acts as secondary domain controller , all the FSMO s are on the primary DC ,we have decided to upgrade all of our servers from windows server 2003 to windows server 2008 , the first step is to upgrade the domain controllers to windows server 2008 , our domain controllers are so sensitive and has to be active 24 hours a day , i have stress upgrading it to windows server 2008 , what is the best solution to upgrade it with no risk ?
( i have an opinion but i am not sure and i dont have any guide about it , i want to install a windows server 2008 and promote it as an additional domain controller to the windows server 2003 DC and the transfer all the FSMOs to it , and then promote the first domain controller !!! is that possible ? if yes , is there any guide about it? )
If there is a guide available for it please let me know . (Specially if there is a tip & trick)
thank you guys.
Network is my LOVE

Hi,
This TechNet online article might be helpful for you.
How to Upgrade Domain Controllers to Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee522994(WS.10).aspx
For your convenience, I have list some general steps for your reference.
Since the following operation have potential damage to Active Directory database, it is highly suggested that you'd better perform a full backup of Active Directory (System State) firstly. Also it is better to test the following procedure in a similar lab environment first.
General Steps:
=============
1. Verify the new server's TCP/IP configuration has been pointed to the current DNS server.
2. Make the new server become a member server of the current Windows Server 2003 domain first.
3. Upgrade the Windows Server 2003 forest schema to Windows Server 2008 schema with the "adprep /forestprep" command on old server.
Please run the "adprep.exe /forestprep" command from the Windows Server 2008 installation disk on the schema master. To do this, insert the Windows Server 2008 installation disk, and then type the following command:
Drive:\sources\ADPREP\adprep.exe /forestprep
4. Upgrade the Windows 2003 domain schema with the "adprep /domainprep" command on old server.
Please run the "adprep.exe /domainprep" command from the Windows Server 2008 installation disk on the infrastructure master. To do this, insert the Windows Server 2008 installation disk, and then type the following command:
Drive:\sources\ADPREP \adprep.exe /domainprep
5. Insert Windows Server 2008 Installation Disc in the new server.
6. Run "dcpromo" on new server to promote it as an additional domain controller in existing Windows 2003 domain, afterwards you may verify the installation of Active Directory.
Please refer to:
How to Verify an Active Directory Installation in Windows Server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816106
7. Verify the new server's TCP/IP configuration has been pointed to current DNS server.
8. Enable Global Catalog on new server and manually Check Replication Topology and afterwards manually trigger replication (Replicate Now) to synchronize Active Directory database between 2 replicas.
Please note: It will some time to replicate GC between DC, please wait some time with patience.
9. Disable Global Catalog on the old DC.
10. Transfer all the FSMO roles from the old DC to the new DC.
Please refer to:
How to view and transfer FSMO roles in Windows Server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324801
11. Verify that the old DNS Server Zone type is Active Directory-Integrated. If not, please refer to:
How To: Convert DNS Primary Server to Active Directory Integrated
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816101
Note: Active Directory Integrated-Zone is available only if DNS server is a domain controller.
12. Install DNS component on new server and configure it as a new DNS Server (Active Directory Integrated-Zone is preferred). All the DNS configuration should be replicated to the new DNS server with Active Directory Replication.
13. Make all the clients change TCP/IP configuration to point to new server as DNS.
14. You may configure TCP/IP on all the clients, or adjust DHCP scope settings to make them use the new DNS server.
Please note: It is a good practice to make the old DC offline for several days and check whether everything works normally with the new server online. If so, you may let the old DC online and run DCPROMO to demote it.
Hope it helps.

  • What is the proper way to demote a Win 2003 Domain Controller running SQL Server 2008 WorkGroup Edition?

    Hi, 
    What is the proper way to demote a Windows 2003 Domain Controller running SQL Server 2008 WorkGroup Edition? 
    I will be migrating AD from Win 2003 to 2012....
    Thanks in advanced. 

    Running SQL on a domain controller is highly not recommended for performance reasons and for complexities it introduces in the management of both systems (You are already facing this situation now).
    I would recommend proceeding like the following before demoting your domain controller:
    Install a new SQL server on a member server
    Migrate your databases to the new SQL server
    Once done, you can safely demote your DC.

  • Renaming Windows Server 2012 Domain Controller with Exchange Server 2013

    Is it possible to rename Windows Server 2012 Domain Controller, as we are using Exchange Server 2013 as a member server on Windows Server 2012 ?
    We have some issues with the Domain Name, so want to rename..
    Maybe somebody knows the best practices how to do this in best way???
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    You should do the following:
    1. Promote another DC.
    2. Transfer FSMO roles to that server.
    3. Decommission old DC.
    4. Rename it.
    5. Promote it again as DC.

  • ¿Is it possible to upgrade from SCCM 2012 a domain controller in Windows Server 2008 R2 TO 2012 R2?

    Hi all.
    I want to know if is it possible to upgrade a domain controller from Windows Server 2008 r2 to 2012 r2 installing from SCCM 2012.
    Thanks.
    Regards.

    Hi all.
    I want to know if is it possible to upgrade a domain controller from Windows Server 2008 r2 to 2012 r2 installing from SCCM 2012.
    Thanks.
    Regards.
    Anything is possible if you can script it. You could create a task sequence to do the following (with scripts):
    1. Demote 2008R2 DC to member server
    2. Remove 2008R2 member server from domain
    3. Build new 2012R2 member server and join to domain
    4. Promote 2012R2 member server to DC
    You can do this. However, why would you? Just because you can doesn't mean you should. In my opinion it's more trouble and testing than it's worth. How many times would you need to do this?

  • Upgrade a Domain Controller running Windows Server 2012 Datacenter Eval

    Hello,
    because I couldn't wait for Server 2012 to show up on Dreamspark Premium I installed the Datacenter evaluation version after I found this blog
    post telling me, I could simply enter my key when I get it to upgrade to the full version.
    After entering the command I get notified that "Changing this Windows edition is not supported online for a domain controller.".
    The TechNet article for upgrading evaluation versions states the following:
      "If the server is a domain controller, see http://technet.microsoft.com/library/hh472160.aspx for important steps to follow before proceeding."
    and taking me to an article for installing/uninstalling ADDS without further comments.
    Simply typing "slui 3" and entering my key states that I have to enter an eval key.
    My question is: Is there a painless way to upgrade my 2012 DC without losing my AD config?
    Regards,
    Hans

    Hi,
    Please refer to the following Microsoft TechNet article to confirm if the steps of converting to full retail version are correct.
    Evaluation Versions and Upgrade Options for Windows Server 2012
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj574204.aspx
    If the warning persists, it means Windows Server 2012 Domain Controller does not support such convert. If so, please install another Windows Server 2012 full retail version or
    convert to full retail version and then promote it to an additional Domain Controller for this domain. After that, transfer FSMOs to this new Domain Controller and demote the original Domain Controller.

  • Unable to bind MacBook Pro (running 10.6 - Snow Leopard ) to Windows Server 2003 domain

    Hi there, I've been working on this problem for a few hours now (and a few hours last Thursday) and don't feel I'm getting anywhere, so I'm reaching out for help....
    My organisation has just purchased a new MacBook Pro, running Snow Leopard (OSX 10.6) and as a Technical Support Engineer I have been asked to configure it for an end user.
    I am currently trying to join it to our corporate domain, which is a Windows Server 2003 domain operating at the Windows Server 2003 Native domain functional level.
    The MacBook is configured to use DHCP, and has been assigned valid IP address, DNS servers etc by the DHCP server. It can resolve all names on our network, including the names of our domain controllers. When I use nslookup to resolve the name of the domain "my_domain.local" it returns a list of DC's on the domain, which would indicate to me that name resolution is working perfectly. It is using our primary DNS server, 'Ponus' to resolve these names - Ponus is also the Domain Controller in this site.
    To attempt to join the MacBook to the domain I have created a computer account for it on the domain, in the Computers container. I have gone into System/Library/Core Services and run the Directory Utility.
    In the directory Utility I have ticked Active Directory and clicked on it to edit. The 'Forest' field is greyed out and set to 'Automatic', in the 'Domain' field I have entered my_domain.local, which is the FQDN of my domain. I click Bind and when prompted enter my Domain Admin username and password (in the 'Create Computer Account in:' field it displays correctly as CN=Computers,DC=my_domain,DC=local.)
    When I click OK I get the message: Invalid domain. An invalid Domain and Forest combination was specified. You should enter a fully qualified DNS name for the domain and forest (e.g., ads.company.com).
    I have attempted writing the domain as my_domain.local, my_domain.local., MY_DOMAIN.LOCAL and MY_DOMAIN.LOCAL. but I get the same error each time. I have checked and rechecked DNS is resolving OK, and cannot see why it cannot find the Domain and Forest from the FQDN that I am entering. Even so I tried creating records in the hosts file on the MacBook to point to the main Domain Controller at this site (Ponus) but this didn't change anything.
    I have seen a few people report the same issue online but the responses tend to fizzle out before anyone gets to the bottom of it. I have seen some indication that people with an understore (_) in their domain name, or with a .local domain name may experience issues with joining Mac hosts, however these details are very vague and if true there must be a workaround.
    If anyone could help me with this I would greatly appreciate it, I'm running out of time to complete this work and have run out of things to try.
    I have an inkling that this is due to the Mac for some reason not reading the SRV records for the DCs and LDAP in DNS, or to do with the Mac looking only at one SRV record (ie. there is one for a new DC that we haven't deployed yet), not being able to reach this and giving up, but I'm clutching at straws really with my limited knowledge of the Macs process for joining the domain.
    Many many thanks,

    Hi there,
    A simple suggestion , please make sure both MacBook Pro clock and the server clock are the same meaning the hour/Min/ sec both should match. A least difference of 3 seconds is fine.
    I had faced this problem in many place and only solution was to match the time and it will bind immediatly.

  • Install Active Directory Domain Controller on Windows server 2008 enterprise, dont login on Sql Server 2008 R2

    I install Active Directory Domain Controller on Windows server 2008 enterprise and dont login on Sql Server 2008 R2. Before install ADDC, I have logon SQL Server 2008r2 Success, After when i install ADDC is don't logon on SQL Server 2008r2 -->not success.
    I have uninstalled ADDC but i still can't login on SQL server 2008r2.
    please help me. it  is very very disaster!
    I think is loss account SQL server 2008r2!

    Hello,
    I stronly recommend you post the detail error message to us while you try to connect to SQL Server instance, it's useful for us to do further investigation.
    Microsoft recommends that you do not install SQL Server 2008 R2 on a domain controller, there are some limitations:
    You cannot run SQL Server services on a domain controller under a local service account or a network service account.
    After SQL Server is installed on a computer, you cannot change the computer from a domain member to a domain controller. You must uninstall SQL Server before you change the host computer to a domain controller.
    After SQL Server is installed on a computer, you cannot change the computer from a domain controller to a domain member. You must uninstall SQL Server before you change the host computer to a domain member.
    SQL Server failover cluster instances are not supported where cluster nodes are domain controllers.
    SQL Server Setup cannot create security groups or provision SQL Server service accounts on a read-only domain controller. In this scenario, Setup will fail.
    On Windows Server 2003, SQL Server services can run under a domain account or a local system account.
    So, I would suggest you try to open up Windows Services list and changed the account for SQL Server service.

  • Hardware Requirements for a Windows Server 2012 Domain Controller.

    Hi,
    I have a secondary office with 10 users with a domain controller that has reached its end of life.  We like to upgrade the current hardware to serve as a domain controller and potentially as an onsite file server that will sync with head office during
    off peak business hours.
    Any recommendations for a low cost yet reliable hardware for the above solution ?

  • Does Oracle 10G R2 support installation on Windows 2003 Domain Controller?

    Does Oracle 10g R2 support installation on Windows 2003 Domain Controller? I remember that 10g R1 had issues with the DC? Is it still the case. Does it work now?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Regards,
    Raghav

    We have Oracle 10g R2 running on a Windows 2003 domain controller. It was not a domain controller when Oracle was installed. The domain was created after installation. (I don't recommend that procedure. I spent a long day fixing the installation after they configured the domain.) If Oracle is unhappy with being on a domain controller, it has not shown it yet.

  • Question about adding Windows 2012 R2 Domain Controller, into a native Windows 2008 R2 single forest domain

    I current have a two server domain, both Windows 2008 R2 and fully updated.   The two servers are on subnet 10.0.1.0 /24
    - Windows 2008 R2 Server A: 10.0.1.1 (DC, GC, FSMO, DNS)
    - Windows 2008 R2 Server B: 10.0.1.2 (DC, GC)
    AD Domain: COMPANY.LOCAL
    I have a second connected subnet, 192.168.1.0 /24) which is routed to the 10.0.1.0/24 subnet and I would like to install a Windows 2012 R2 server onto a server on that subnet and make it a domain controller with AD-Integrated DNS and DHCP for the 192.168.1.0
    /24 subnet.
    - Windows 2012 R2 Server C: 192.168.1.1
    What are the proper progression steps, in order to bring up the Windows 2012 R2 server and then add it to my COMPANY.LOCAL domain and then promote it do a DC/GC/AD-Integrated DNS server?   Are they anything like the following:
    1. Install Windows 2012 R2 server (Server C)
    2. Point Windows 2012 R2 server DNS servers at Server's A and B
    3. Perform AD prep to extend AD schema to support Windows 2012 R2 domain controllers
    4. Promote Windows 2012 R2 server to domain controller (install local DNS service on Server C, during this step)
    * Question:  Will Windows automatically create a DNS zone for the Windows 2012 R2 subnet (192.168.1.0/24) AND also include the DNS zone from the previous Windows 2008 R2 domain (10.0.1.0 /24)?  Or will I need to add the 10.0.1.0 /24 zone to the DNS
    server on Server C, even though the DNS from the Windows 2008 R2 domain is AD integrated?

  • Issues with creating PDF's (Acrobat 8.1.6. and 9.1.3) in Windows Server 2003 (32 bit) and Windows XP (64bit)

    We have a report package that generates customised reports
    We generate the PDF's by simply "printing" to the Adobe PDF printer
    In Windows XP Pro (32 Bit) the report creates the PDF perfectly
    In Windows Server 2003 (32 Bit) or Windows Xp Pro (64 Bit) the PDF is created 90% perfect but some of text has slipped on the page.
    Whilst we are looking into the report writer (Dev Express) I would like to rule out any Acrobat issues.
    With thanks
    Mark

    I think it will work fine if you use the "Enterprise" authentication option.  It may have dependencies on 32 bit components.  So, that's why we must run IIS in 32 bit mode even though it's on a 64 bit OS.  That means CR supports 64 bit OS systems only if you bring down other components that CR uses to 32 bit levels.  I'm not sure if that is considered "full support". 
    We are trying to use the LDAP authentication option, but that tab is disabled.  Other tabs such as Active Directory and WinNT are disabled as well.  There maybe another component that we must bring down to 32 bit processing.
    Is there a way to enable the LDAP authentication configuration tab?
    thanks

  • Failed Windows Server 2003 Enterprise SP2 to Windows 2008 Enterprise OS Upgrade

    the following steps prior to attempting upgrade.
    1. Determined that Server meet the minmum requirements for upgrade.
    2. Installed all Windows Updates.
    3. Uninstalled McAfee Virus Scan Enterprise Application
    4. Backed Up and Imaged Primary Domain Controller.
    5. Tested Domain Replication to ensure Primary and Backup Domain Controllers were communicating with each other.
    6. Set Domain Function Level at Windows Server 2003
    7. Placed ADPREP folder on C:\ on Primary Domain Controller and ran "adprep /forestprep" and "adprep /domainprep" successfully
    8. In the C:\Windowd\System32 renamed the WindowsPowerShell application folder to WindowPowerShell-Old, the application failed the Upgrade compatibility test.

  • ACS 4.1 support with Windows Server 2012 Domain controller

    I am upgrading my Domain Controller / Active Directory from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2012.
    In my environment, I am using Cisco ACS 4.1 which is integrated with Windows Server 2003 Active Directory.
    Will ACS4.1 will work fine with my new domain controller (Windows server 2012) or I need to upgrade my ACS too?
    Regards,
    Junaid

    Junaid,
    ACS 4.x code doesn't even support Windows 2008 R2. Your best bet is to migrate the ACS from 4.x to ACS 5.4 Patch 2 or stay with windows 2003 or 2008 (Non-R2).
    ACS 5.4 patch 2 supports Windows 2012 AD.

  • ACS any Version with Domain Controller on Windows Server 2008 R2 64bit

    Hi All
    Is there currently any ACS version working with Windows Server 2008 R2 domain controllers?
    Our server stuff has recently upgraded the Domain Controllers to 2008r2 and turned off the 2003 servers. This didn't make our ACS 4.1.4 really happy.
    I've read now serveral posts regarding issues with ACS and Server 2008r2 and hope to find a solution (besides switching to LDAP, yukk).
    Thanks
