New server checklist

I am setting up a new terminal server (remote desktop) that will also house the data for our agency. It will run windows 2003 standard.

Does anyone have a good checklist of thing I need to do before making it live? I have already made it a DC and added AD.

Thanks,

you already added AD....did you promote as an additional DC in an exsiting domain or a new domain altogether? do you have a domain in existance already?

most important is patched and virus protected, thats about it

For Application use, install Terminal Services in Application mode - you will also need to get TS CALs for it for all the users that will connect for NON-Administrative functions (such as running your application).

This site is pretty comprehensive:

Check and Check.

I have added it as an additional DC, and AD is replicating just fine.

I have installed Terminal Services and and I have puchaced and installed CALs for it.

Now the major step... Transferring all the data over. Does anyone have a good idea on how to do this?

I need to make sure all the folder permissions transfer over. I would also like the clients to be able to use the same shortcuts. I need a way to "foward" the shortcut locations on the clients to the new server.

Thank you VERY MUCH!
