Re: error during test install |

When you take the test server off the network, you will never, ever bring
this back onto the network. If this is the case then on the test DC you need
to seize the FSMO roles, ie take over the schema master role on that server,
as you are not connected to the network Prod will not be affected.
Using Ntdsutil.exe to seize or transfer FSMO roles to a domain controller

| Quote: | ok here is my situation and i need a little advise i think...
I have 2xDC's running 2000 svr in a single domain (fully patched) and
EX5.5.
I want to upgrade by clean install to ex 2003 on new DC's running 2003
svr.
Though first id like to test this out...My idea was to build a test box
with
2003svr (ok) run dcpromo (ok) synchronise the domain (ok) take the test
box
off the network and install ex 2003 and import some mailboxes to test it
out..here starts my trouble..
EX 2003 wants to update/edit the schema (which it dosnt have as its on the
2000 dc)
so I need to find a way to copy import/export backup/restore the schema on
to my test enviorenment. so i can complete my exchange test.
any other options appreciated.!!!
Of course this all has to be done without affecting my very live
environment....
Can anyone help..??
yours paul
