Wow! I love your articles. So easy to understand. Keep the good work folk and congratulations for your excellence in your fantastic approach of teaching others who may have some problems in understanding how-to in Windows Server. Your way of teaching is fabulous, it is attractive not scary.

Thanks for the interesting article on a topic that I’m thinking about currently. However, you need to do red-eye reduction on your photo as it’s freaking me out

You say, “You cannot, I repeat, cannot upgrade from Server 2000 directly to Server 2008.

You need to upgrade it first to Server 2003 and then go through these steps and upgrade to Server 2008.

Also, make sure your Domain Functional Level is Windows Server 2003. This is really important as you won’t be able to run the upgrade if Domain Functional Level isn’t at Least Server 2003.

But… in screen shot 12, the ADPREP Warning paraphrased says, it’s OK if you have Windows 2000 SP 4 DC’s on your network.

Please clarify!!! My primary DC is 2003 as are 3 other remote DC’s but I still have 2 2000 SP4 remote DC’s out there. I also have Exchange 2003 runing on a 2003 DC and a few 2003 member servers running applications. We are a single domain environment.

TIA
