Issues about upgrading from Win2000 server to Win2003 on an offline DC


hi,

i trying upgrade win2000 server win2003 standard on offline dc, , upgrade again win2008 r2. reason offline dont want impact network, has 2 win 2000 server dc already.

the current issue is, upgrading stuck @ point either "waiting active directory start...", or error message "lsass.exe - system error, security accounts manager initialization failed because of following error: directory services cannot start. error status 0xc00002e1. ". dont think go anywhere if dont something.

i have read articles listed below:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/325379
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/258062

however, not fit in case since upgrading offline. so, should do? can helps?

thank you!

 

note: resolved, not delete post reasons (because mike kindly replied before noticed). did not adprep /forestprep , /domainprep properly, after clone fine now. sorry messy.  >_<b

hi mike,

thank quick reply!

it long story, because of legacy issues. manager decided take approach instead of migrating directly, found many resources including yours.

as noted above, current issues resolved. trying upgrade 2003 first, , keeping fingers crossed.

i know stupid way, dont have practical experiences before. result, decide trade time "safety". orz

i come again when there new issues appear, pretty sure lot... @_@
