DNS on Windows Server 2003 $31.99 While computers and other devices identify each other on networks or the Internet by using unique addresses made up of numbers, humans rely on the Domain Name System (DNS), the distributed database that allows us to identify machines by name. DNS does the work of translating domain names into numerical IP addresses, routing mail to its proper destination, and many other services, so that users require little or no knowledge of the system. If you’re a network or system administrator, however, configuring, implementing, and maintaining DNS zones can be a formidable challenge. And now, with Windows Server 2003, an understanding of the workings of DNS is even more critical. DNS on Windows Server 20003 is a special Windows-oriented edition of the classic DNS and BIND , updated to document the many changes to DNS, large and small, found in Windows Server 2003. Veteran O’Reilly authors, Cricket Liu, Matt Larson, and Robbie Allen explain the whole system in terms of the new Windows Server 2003, from starting and stopping a DNS service to establishing an organization’s namespace in the global hierarchy. Besides covering general issues like installing, setting up, and maintaining the server, DNS on Windows Server 2003 tackles the many issues specific to the new Windows environment, including the use of the dnscmd program to manage the Microsoft DNS Server from the command line and development using the WMI DNS provider to manage the name server programmatically. The book also documents new features of the Microsoft DNS Server in Windows Server 2003, including conditional forwarding and zone storage in Active Directory (AD) application partitions. DNS on Windows Server 2003 provides grounding in: Security issues System tuning Caching Zone change notification Troubleshooting Planning for growth If you’re a Windows administrator, DNS on Windows Server 2003 is the operations manual you need for working with DNS every day. If you’re a Windows user who simply wants to take the mystery out of the Internet, this book is a readable introduction to the Internet’s architecture and inner workings. |

WSS 3.0 & Sharepoint 2007 Database Migration Strategy Steps For Migrating A Sharepoint 2003 Site
I was searching for some information on the strategy on how to move just an individual site from Sharepoint 2003/WSS V2.0 to Sharepoint 2007/WSS V3.0. I found a lot of information on how to do an In-Place and Gradual upgrade but nothing on how to just move a single site. This article is written based on moving a single site from a single server instance of Sharepoint 2003/WSS V2.0 to a single server installation of Sharepoint 2007/WSS V3.0. If your environment is different some of the steps below will need to be modified for your purposes. Below are the steps on how to
move just a single Sharepoint 2003/WSS V2.0 site to Sharepoint 2007/WSS V3.0:
You will need to run the prescan.exe tool from Sharepoint 2007 on the Sharepoint 2003 database first. Since this will create errors on the 2003 site I would recommend making a backup of the site and restoring the backup of the site to run the prescan on. Use the stsadm tool in 2003 to make your backup and do the restore of the site.
When the site has been restored copy the Prescan tool from the sever running Sharepoint 2007 to the server running Sharepoint 2003. The Prescan tool is located in Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft Sharedweb server extensions12BIN.
On the server running Sharepoint 2003 open a command prompt and navigate to the directory that you copied the Prescan tool to. 1
On the command prompt run the Prescan tool with the following command: prescan /V
NOTE: if you use the /ALL option this will run the prescan on your entire farm.
Once the prescan has completed make a backup of the content database for the virtual server we just ran the prescan on.
Copy the database backup to the server running Sharepoint 2007
Restore the database backup onto the SQL server that Sharepoint 2007 is using.
Open the Sharepoint 3.0 Central Administration site. This can be located at Start->Administrative Tools->Sharepoint 3.0 Central Administration. 1
Click on the Application Management tab at the top of the screen
Go to "Create or extend Web Application" under the "Sharepoint Web Application Management" section.
Click on "Create a new Web application" to create the new Web Application where we are going to restore our Sharepoint 2003/WSS V2.0 site to.
Fill in the appropriate information to create a Sharepoint 2007/WSS V3.0 Web Application in your environment and click "OK"
Once the "Operation in Progress" screen has disappeared and the create operation is completed you will be taken to the "Application Created" screen. Do not go to "Create Site Collection".
Open a command prompt.
Run the Sharepoint stsadm tool with the following command line: stsadm -o addcontentdb -url -databasename For more information visit Database administration
NOTE: We need to use the stsadm command line tool to add the new content database because the web application may timeout if you use it to add the content database.
Click "Enter" and the content database will be added to the site.
Return to the Sharepoint 3.0 Central Administration application and click on the "Application Management" tab. For more information visit Database administration
Click on the "Content databases" link under the "Sharepoint Web Application Management"
You will be redirected back to the "Content databases" screen
Make sure that the Web Application you just created is selected in the drop-down list of Web Applications.
Click on the content database that was initially created when you created the web application.
On the screen that appears click the check box next to "Remove content database".
Click "OK". This will remove the initial database from the SQL Server.
Your site is not ready to access. However if you are moving to a machine that has different user accounts you may have a problem logging into the new site. If you do follow the rest of the steps in the article.
Go to the "Application Management" tab in the Sharepoint 3.0 Central Administration application.
Click on "Site Collection Owners" located under "Sharepoint Site Management"
Make sure the correct Web Application is selected in the drop-down
Set the Primary and Secondary site collection owners to the correct user accounts and click "OK"
Your site will now be ready to access with primary or secondary site collection owner account.
