migration from windows server 2003 to windows server 2008, keeping website alive

Sm0011 — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 10:03:25 +0000

we are a server 2003 based domain with about 150 clients all running win xp. there is a intranet website in this domain, built with sharpoint and having lots of rules and restrictions based on active directory OUs and Groups. we need to migrate and become an OU in a server 2008 based domain in a separate forest. we cannot have the website pulled down even for a day. suggested solution is to use ADMT and migrate the clients, keeping old servers running. on the browser type the old website address and login with old domain authentication. which ADMT should i use to migrate win xp clients? is there any other better method? pls advice…

Isyst — Wed, 13 May 2009 07:59:31 +0000

What is the possible reasons for xp clients lossing the connection to a shared drive on a windows 2003 server.

It happens about 3 times a day and happens while they are working.

It is setup and an exchange server and that connection gets lost too(goes to work offline on outlook on the clients).

they have to restart the client computer to fix the problem.

any help please,
Thank you.
