Can you post the second link again it looks like it got cut off.<br />
<br />

The hardware is the same so just a basic in place upgrade will be done. I'll look at those tools but I don't think anyone will be willing to buy tools for this project so the install disk will have to suffice.

It is worth a look. &nbsp;I have used the migration pack and it is only $200USD.

When upgrading servers from Windows 2000 to 2003 are there any show stoppers or issues I need to look for in order to upgrade successfully? Hardware is mostly slightly older Dell 2650 range, IBM X346 range and HP 380 range type servers.<br />

When upgrading servers from Windows 2000 to 2003 are there any show stoppers or issues I need to look for in order to upgrade successfully? Hardware is mostly slightly older Dell 2650 range, IBM X346 range and HP 380 range type servers.



Upgrading Windows 2000 to 2003

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Windows Server 2003

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.

Windows 2000

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
