TSG infrastructure upgrade (part 1)

So I just upgraded our NT4 domain controller to Windows 2003 Server. We setup an NT4 BDC in VMWare and replicated the domain to it (in case of emergency). That went wonderfully (VMWare GSX Server is an amazing tool, BTW). Then we ran the upgrade, and our entire domain upgraded gracefully. Sweet.


The next step is moving to Exchange 2003. So far, this is tedious but going well... although the DHCP server is refusing to give out addresses while the AD Forest upgrades. I hope its just a load issue - if its more than that, I'm going to be here all night!
Mood: relaxed
Music: Server hum
