I have a network that has a lot of outlying lans running
4.0 boxes. They all need to run W2K by the end of the year
because 4.0 is phasing out of MS's support. Being a
government entity of sorts, we have to follow policy-
procedures and remain in a support level for the OS's.
So, migrating an NT 4.0 network into a fully working and
running W2K network in a few months with Exchange and all
user profiles and logins is going to be a difficult task.
Especially since they've not done any REAL planning yet.
I'm looking for suggestions and ideas on how I should go
about reccomending the upgrades to happen.
They're thinking of running parallel networks. Having W2K
servers along side the NT 4.0 servers and configuring the
Active Directory Services first. This sounds like the best
plan of attack but as most in IT know, budgets don't
always follow IT minds.
If there are any ideas out there, please share.
Questions please post.
