Windows NT 4.0 Server Upgrade Guide 35

An incremental upgrade offers an alternative to the complexity of upgrading your entire

infrastructure at once. Core services hosted on Windows Server 2003 are easier to integrate into

Active Directory when finally introduced. This ease of integration is particularly true in the case of

DNS, because upgrading your DNS servers is a necessary step toward a domain upgrade. Active

Directory provides single-logon capability and a central repository for information for your entire

infrastructure, features that simplify user management and provide superior access to networked

resources.

Sample In-Place Upgrade for a Windows NT PDC

This section is a step-by-step upgrade of a commonly configured Windows NT 4.0 domain

controller to Windows Server 2003. The goal is to familiarize you with the upgrade process and

errors that may occur.

To make the upgrade more interesting and to see the results, this sample assumes that

Exchange Server 5.5 and SQL Server 7.0 (common Windows NT 4.0 applications) are installed

on the server. Although it is not common for SQL Server and Exchange Server to be loaded on a

domain controller, they are included here for demonstration purposes to show how Windows

Server 2003 migrates these applications. For further effect, the sample assumes that the server

was purposefully left at Service Pack 4 (SP4).

The configuration of the Windows NT 4 server in this sample is as follows:

• Pentium II 400 MHZ processor

• 128 MB RAM

• 8 GB SCSI hard disk (4-GB C: partition and 4-GB D: partition)

• Adaptec SCSI adapter

• Intel network card

• Kingston network card

• ATI video card

• SCSI CD-ROM drive

• Windows NT 4.0 Server with SP4

The following services and applications are installed in this sample:

• PDC (Security Accounts Manager [SAM] database)

• IIS

• FTP

• Exchange 5.5

• SQL Server 7.0
