Before You Begin the Upgrade

Caution – Before upgrading to a supported operating system, you must update your Intel drivers. Refer to “Updating Intel and Linux Drivers” on page 115 for additional information.

Before starting to upgrade Windows NT4 Server to Windows Server 2003, follow these steps:

1.Log off all clients and other processes from the server before upgrading Microsoft Windows and before enabling SunFSD mapping in Microsoft Windows.

Enabling SunFSD mapping enables it for all current users, creating a potential breach in security, so caution must be employed.

2.Double-click the fsdon.reg Registry file located at:

C:\sun\sunfsd\fsdon.reg

Caution – This enables SunFSD. Leave SunFSD enabled until after the upgrade to Windows Server 2003 and then disable.

How to Upgrade Windows NT4 Server or Windows NT4 TS to Windows Server 2003

1.Insert the Windows Server 2003 CD into your system’s CD-ROM drive.

2.From the Start menu, choose Programs, and then choose Windows Explorer. The Windows Explorer window opens.

3.In Windows Explorer, navigate to the following path:

C:\sun\wnetupg\upgrade.bat

Note – If you cannot find this directory on your C: drive, either you have installed the wrong version of the SunPCi III software, or you did not update your drivers.
