Windows NT 4.0 Server Upgrade Guide 8

Preparing to Upgrade

Before beginning an upgrade from Windows NT Server 4.0 to Windows Server 2003, you need a

plan that details the many tasks to be performed. If the upgrade includes Active Directory, even

more planning is recommended. Your upgrade plan assists in establishing the order in which to

upgrade servers and domains, assessing available resources, and obtaining the information

necessary to upgrade the systems in the most efficient way.

Your upgrade plan should also include all components to be upgraded and the proper upgrade

order. Dependencies among servers and applications need to be carefully examined. Hardware

needs to be inspected as well. Can the current servers be upgraded or does new hardware need

to be purchased? Are there any applications that need to be upgraded? Are there any servers that

cannot be upgraded?

Organizations can benefit from upgrading individual servers to Windows Server 2003 as well as

upgrading all servers. In this section of the guide, you’ll find information to help plan the hardware

and server migration order.

Determining the Supported Software Upgrades

To start, you must identify the operating systems that are running in the environment and

determine whether those computers can be upgraded to Windows Server 2003 or whether a

clean operating system installation must be performed.

To upgrade a Windows NT Server 4.0 computer to Windows Server 2003, Service Pack 5 (SP5)

or later must be installed. In fact, unless there is a known issue with a service pack, it is best to

install the latest service pack for the Windows NT Server 4.0 as well as any other applications that

may run on the Windows NT 4.0 servers.

The following table lists the Windows NT Server 4.0 operating systems and whether they can be

upgraded directly to different versions of Windows Server 2003. When performing an upgrade to

Windows Server 2003, most applications do not need to be reinstalled.
