Hi all,

I would appreciate me very much if someone could help me out with the
following:

I will be upgrading my child domain to windows 2003. However I’m not sure on
how to go about it. Here is my situation:

1. I have no access to the forest nor the root/forest domains. They are
controlled by head office.
2. I have full control on my local child domain only.
3. The forest/root domains are windows 2003.
4. my domain is window 2000
I was planning to do in place upgrade and run adprep /domain.

Now is there anything I should take into consideration. Like, need to have
access to the root/forest domains or a better way to do this instead of in
place upgrade.

How can I recreate this in a lab?

Please advice
Thanks,
john
 
hello,

depends what you have around (exchange 2000)...
As always, BACKUP before !
In case of huge trouble, be sure someone at the headquarter will be
available to help you (like putting the domain back in the forest)

Here is good start:
