yes we currently have 2 domain controllers

Hi how do i go about raising the domain and function levels from 2003 to 2008? Thanks

hi where can i get instructions to upgrade the domain and function levels to 2008 from 2003?

hi, I hope i get the terms right. I have 2012 r2 domain controllers running at a 2003 level. Can i raise the domain/function level from 2003 to 2008 or higher without affecting the 2003 file servers running on the network? Thanks

so in the routing of the vlans, i can use the relay agents to utilize my dhcp server and still be able to access my domain controller? i would configure it as vlan1 (current data vlan) and vlan2 for the new data vlan.

hi last question our switches are managed netgear, but our router/firewall is a cisco firepower. Would both of these be able to work together with a new vlan. We already have an ip phone system running on a separate vlan so would a new data vlan work the same? . i believe i would have to...

I am not sure we can add a new vlan. We have netgear switches and a cisco router/firewall. I dont know if they can work together on the new vlan I have also been recommended to just add a new scope. would this solve my problem, or is the vlan route still the best?

what is the issues i would run into with a huge flat network?

running a second vlan i would add the new addressing scheme to that vlan? when you say earlier about expanding the subnet cidr to 192.168.0.0 can i still leave my router/firewall at the same address but exclude it in the exclusion range of the dhcp scope what would that involve with the domain...

also that would mean running a second port to the firewall router to separate the vlan traffic, we have a cisco firepower 1010 router/firewall

we have about 100 static machines and 47 switches on the 192.168.1.0 network i guess we would have to setup an exclusion for that. If we went to vlan, that would mean changing the vlan ports on some of our switches so they took advantage of the new subnet? we currently have 47 switches, so i...

also due to us still using server 2003 for our production ERP we have had to use static ip addresses for about 70% of the network pc's and printers as we had difficulties after moving to windows 7 and since to windows 10 & 11

Hi, thanks for the reply. We only have 1 vlan which is the primary subnet 192.168.1.0. i was going to run the second subnet over the same vlan because we dont have vlan routing. Also that would mean changing many switches and breaking up the network. Our network is very old and is basically a...

Our domain is running out of ip addresses, currently the ip address range is 192.168.1.0/24 I want to add 192.168.2.0/24 to this domain. As far as i can tell, i have configured the router to route between the 2 subnets and added the relay agent. So as far as i know that's all i need on the...
