Hello. I have 5 servers, all of which are 2003 server. I have purchased 5 new servers and licenses for Windows 2008 Enterprise (probably overkill, I know). We are a library and we use Terminal Services for constant public access. You may not find my questions challenging seeing as how some of the others are structured and presented but I think you will find my question pretty simple. My fear is that your answer will be (to me) pretty complicated ...lol
I simply want to begin replacing equipment; however, I would like to do so in a manner that is as invisible to the users, in as much as it is possible. I was hoping I could replace the 2003 AD server with 2008 AD first, and then the DNS server, and then the three terminal servers. This process; I was hoping, might be done over the course of a couple weeks.
If I change my AD server from 2003 to 2008, will my 2003 servers still be supported by the AD 2008 server?
Please let me know if this is possible. I appreciate your expertise.
Thanks
