Hi, I am running Server 2003. I want to upgrade to Server 2003 R2. From what I have read I need to: 1. Backup Server 2. Upgrade the AD Schema to 31 3. Run Upgrade to R2 Some of the documents I have read say to do the above steps, but others say to ensure you have AD running on a second server (which we do) and uninstall AD from the server before doing the upgrade and then reinstalling AD. Just wondering what peoples thoughts were. Thanks Stephen

Hi all, We are running Server 2003 on our servers and Windows XP on our desktops. I have a GPO running which seems to be working for the most part. However, I want to turn the windows firewall off and it doesn't seem to be working. I have gone into "computer configuration\admin templates\network config\domain profiles\ and disabled the "protect all network connections" setting. If i set the above setting in my GPO with all my other settings, it does NOT work. If i set the above setting in a GPO all to itself it works fine. Any ideas why this would be? Thanks in advance Stephen
