I have a DC that is currently running 2003 standard OS. I want to
upgrade it to Enterprise. All other DCs are running 2003 enterprise.
I would think I could simply do an os upgrade without disrupting AD.
Can I just run the os upgrade or do I have do DCpromo to remove it
from AD, upgrade os, and DCpromo it back?

thank you
Mitch
 
You can upgrade Win 2k3 Standard to Win 2k3 Enterprise.

Dan,
thanks for the reply but my concern is upgrading a domain
controller...... I realize I can upgrade from standard to enterprise
on a member server just want to make sure of the AD domain controller
part.

thanks
mitch
 
Makes no difference if it is a DC or a member server. If the upgrade is
supported, it's supported if it is a member or a DC.
