Prepare Windows Server 2003 domain for a domain controller that runs Windows Server 2008 Note: Review the list of operations that Adprep.exe performs in Windows Server 2008, and test the schema updates in a lab environment to ensure that they will not conflict with any applications that run in your environment. There should not be any conflicts if your applications use RFC-compliant object and attribute definitions. For a list of specific operations that are performed when you update the Active Directory schema, see Appendix of Changes to Adprep.exe to support AD DS in Windows Server 2008 ( ). You can also test the Active Directory upgrade in a test environment with all the applications configured for testing purposes. Before you can add a domain controller that is running Windows Server 2008 to an Active Directory environment that is running Windows 2000 Server or Windows Server 2003, you must update the Active Directory schema. You must update the schema from the domain controller that hosts the schema operations master role (also known as flexible single master operations or FSMO).

If you are performing an unattended installation of Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) with Windows Server 2008, you must update the schema before you install the operating system. For normal installations, you must update the schema after you run Setup and before you install AD DS. Use the following procedure to update the Windows Server 2003 Active Directory schema for Windows Server 2008. Membership in Enterprise Admins, Schema Admins, and Domain Admins for the domain that contains the schema master is required to complete this procedure. Review details about using the appropriate accounts and group memberships. To prepare the forest schema for Windows Server 2008 • Log on to the schema master as a member of the Enterprise Admins, Schema Admins, and Domain Admins groups. • Insert the Windows Server 2008 DVD into the CD/DVD drive.

Copy the content of the sources adprep folder to an Adprep folder on the schema master. • Open a command prompt, and then change directories to the Adprep folder. • At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER: adprep /forestprep • (Optional) If you plan to install a read-only domain controller (RODC) in any domain in the forest, type the following command, and then press ENTER: adprep /rodcprep • Allow the operation to complete, and then allow the changes to replicate throughout the forest before you prepare any domains for a domain controller that runs Windows Server 2008. After you prepare the forest, you need to prepare any domain for which you plan to install a domain controller that runs Windows Server 2008. Use the following procedure to prepare a Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 domain for Windows Server 2008. Membership in Domain Admins, or equivalent, is the minimum required to complete this procedure. Review details about using the appropriate accounts and group memberships.

To prepare a Windows 2003 domain for Windows Server 2008 • Identify the domain infrastructure operations master role holder as follows: • In the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in, right-click the domain object, click Operations Masters, and then click Infrastructure. • Log on to the infrastructure master as a member of the Domain Admins group. • Insert the Windows Server 2008 DVD into the CD/DVD drive. Copy the content of the sources adprep folder to an Adprep folder on the infrastructure master. • Open a command prompt, and then change directories to the Adprep folder.

• Type the following command, and then press ENTER: adprep /domainprep /gpprep • Allow the operation to complete, and then allow the changes to replicate throughout the forest before you install a domain controller that runs Windows Server 2008. After the forest and domain based schema is prepared, new Windows Server 2008 based domain controllers can be added to the domain. Install Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) on a Windows Server 2008–based member server that is located in the domain by using the Active Directory Domain Services Installation Wizard (Dcpromo.exe). After you install AD DS successfully, the Windows Server 2008–based member server will become a domain controller. You can install AD DS on any Windows Server 2008–based member server that meets the domain controller hardware requirements. You can install AD DS using the Windows Server 2008 Windows interface.

The Windows interface in Windows Server 2008 provides two wizards that guide you through the Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) installation process. One wizard is the Add Roles Wizard, which you can access in Server Manager. The other wizard is the Active Directory Domain Services Installation Wizard (Dcpromo.exe), which you can access in either of the following ways: • When you complete the steps in the Add Roles Wizard, click the link to start the Active Directory Domain Services Installation Wizard. • Click Start, click Run, type dcpromo.exe, and then click OK.

Membership in the local Administrator account, or equivalent, is the minimum required to complete this procedure. Review details about using the appropriate accounts and group memberships. To install AD DS on a Windows Server 2008–based member server: •. On the Network Credentials page, type the name of any existing domain in the forest where you plan to install the additional domain controller.

Under Specify the account credentials to use to perform the installation, click My current logged on credentials or click Alternate credentials, and then click Set. In the Windows Security dialog box, provide the user name and password for an account that can install the additional domain controller. To install an additional domain controller, you must be a member of the Enterprise Admins group or the Domain Admins group. When you are finished providing credentials, click Next.

On the Additional Domain Controller Options page, make the following selections, and then click Next: • DNS server: This option is selected by default so that your domain controller can function as a DNS server. • Note: If you select the option to install DNS server, you might receive a message that indicates that a DNS delegation for the DNS server could not be created and that you should manually create a DNS delegation to the DNS server to ensure reliable name resolution. If you are installing an additional domain controller in either the forest root domain or a tree root domain, you do not have to create the DNS delegation. In this case, click Yes and disregard the message.

• Global Catalog: This option is selected by default. It adds the global catalog, read-only directory partitions to the domain controller, and it enables global catalog search functionality.

• Read-only domain controller. This option is not selected by default.

It makes the additional domain controller read only. This looks to be a very complete and comprehensive checklist for upgrading from AD 2003 to AD 2008. I have a related question as it seems that you are involved with both AD and Exchange. I am planning an upgrade from AD 2003 to AD 2008 in the near future.

My question is whether Exchange 2007 running on Server 2003 will still work under on AD 2008? At the present time I do not have the resources to purchase a new server, load it with Server 2008, and migrate Exchange to it, and would really like to leave my Exchange 2007 on the 2003 Server if at all possible.

It was the last operating system released in the series. Windows ME was the successor to and was targeted specifically at home PC users. It included, 7, and the new software, which provided basic video editing and was designed to be easy to use for home users. Microsoft also updated the graphical user interface, features, and in Windows ME with some of those first introduced in, which had been released as a business-oriented operating system seven months earlier. Windows ME could be upgraded to SP1 (but not to SP2 (SV1) or ), 6 SP1 and Windows Media Player 9 Series. Microsoft up to and including version 2.0 is supported; however, versions 2.0 SP1, 3.x, and greater are not.

Was the last version of to be compatible with Windows ME. Windows ME is a continuation of the Windows 9x model, but with restricted access to in order to decrease system time. Contents • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • History [ ] In 1998, Microsoft stated that there would be no version of after. In May 1999, however, Microsoft released Windows 98 Second Edition, and then announced a new version of Windows 9x which was later revealed to be codenamed Millennium.

In 2000, this was released as Windows Millennium Edition (Windows ME). At least three of Windows ME were available during its development phase. On September 24, 1999, Microsoft announced that Windows Millennium Beta 1 was released. Windows Millennium Beta 2 was released on November 24, 1999 and added a couple of new features such as System File Protection and Game Options Control Panel. Several interim builds were released between Beta 1 and 2, and added features such as and personalized menus. Beta 3 was released on April 11, 2000, and this version marked the first appearance of its final version startup and shutdown sounds (derived from ), as the previous betas used Windows 98's startup and shutdown sounds.

The final version boot screen was first featured in Pre-Beta 3 build 2470. The general availability date of Windows Millennium Edition was December 31, 2000. Microsoft ended mainstream support for Windows Millennium Edition on December 31, 2003, and extended support ended on July 11, 2006. Windows 98 and Windows 98 SE Extended support ended the same day. Windows ME also contained the, which caused it as well as Windows 98 and Windows 98 SE to be pulled from the at the end of 2003. At launch time, Microsoft announced a time-limited promotion from September 2000–January 2001 which entitled or Windows 98 users to upgrade to Windows ME for $59.95 instead of the regular retail upgrade price of $109.

Shortly after Windows ME was released to manufacturing on June 19, 2000, Microsoft launched a campaign-initiative to promote Windows ME in the U.S., which they dubbed the Meet Me Tour. A national partnered promotional program featured Windows ME, and other partners in an interactive multimedia attraction in 25 cities across the U.S.

It was launched on September 14, 2000. Compared with other releases of Windows, Windows ME had a short shelf-life of just over a year. Microsoft aimed to make ME the first consumer Windows OS based on the kernel.

However, this did not happen and Windows ME was rushed to the market after the project was canceled. Windows ME was often criticized for being buggy, slow and unstable. Windows ME, along with, was soon replaced by the NT-based, which was launched on August 24, 2001. New and updated features [ ] User interface [ ] Windows ME featured the inherited from such as personalized menus, customizable Windows Explorer toolbars, auto-complete in Windows Explorer address bar and Run box, Windows 2000 advanced file type association features, displaying comments in shortcuts as tooltips, extensible columns in Details view (IColumnProvider interface), icon overlays, integrated search pane in Windows Explorer, sort by name function for menus, Places bar in common dialogs for Open and Save, cascading, some Plus!

98 themes, and updated graphics. The notification area in Windows ME and later supported icons. The Multimedia control panel was also updated from Windows 98 SE. Taskbar and Start Menu options allowed disabling of the drag and drop feature and could prevent moving or resizing the taskbar, which was easier for new users. Hardware support improvements [ ] • Faster boot times: Windows ME features numerous improvements for improving time, pre and post-logon boot times and time required for resuming from hibernation. Processing of real mode configuration files, and, is bypassed at startup and essential real mode drivers like and are embedded into. The registry is loaded only once; for efficient loading, the registry is split into three files instead of two ( and ), with the new file containing the contents of the hive HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT required for boot loaded initially.

Plug and Play device enumeration is more parallelized than in Windows 98 SE. Boot time is not affected due to unavailability of a DHCP server or other network components. There are also optimizations to prevent boot slowdown due to operations. •: Generic support for 5-button mice is also included as standard and installing allows reassigning the programmable buttons. •: Windows ME introduced the Windows Image Acquisition for a standardized method of allowing Windows applications to transparently and more easily communicate with image acquisition devices, such as and.

WIA intended to improve the configuration and the user interface for interacting with scanners and such devices, (which were previously supported by the standard) and simplify writing device drivers for developers. WIA also includes support for USB still image capture device classes such as scanners and cameras through the. • Improved power management and suspend/resume operations: The OEM version of Windows ME supports OS-controlled ACPI S4 sleep state () and other power management features without manufacturer-supplied drivers. • USB and FireWire support improvements: Windows ME is the only operating system in the Windows 9x series that includes generic drivers for and USB printers.

Support for FireWire scanners and storage devices is also improved. • The,, and APIs support non- formats such as or over. Digital media [ ] •: This utility is based on and technologies to provide Microsoft Windows computer systems with basic video capture and edit capabilities. It provides users with the ability to capture, edit, and re-encode media content into the format, a tightly compressed format which requires a minimal amount of storage space on the computer's hard disk, when compared to many other media formats. • 7: The new version of the Windows multimedia player software introduces jukebox functionality featuring the Media Library, support for CD burning, an integrated media encoder, and the ability to transfer music directly to portable devices. Another new feature is its radio tuner that can be used to search for and connect to radio stations over the internet.

Users can also customize the look and feel of the user interface through interactive skins. •: The software in Windows ME is a redesigned version of the one featured in Windows 98 SE which, unlike its predecessor, does not require a dedicated decoder card for DVD playback.

Instead, it supports software decoding through a third-party decoder. • Image Preview: In Windows ME, images can be viewed by using the Image Preview utility. It allows users to rotate an image, print or zoom in/out an image. Image Preview supports images with. WMF file formats. The My Pictures folder also integrates previewing images. • Games: Windows ME includes version 7.1 of the API which introduced, and also offers several new games: Internet Backgammon, Internet Checkers, Internet Hearts, Internet Reversi, Internet Spades.

It also includes from Plus! 98 and from Plus!

For Windows 95. The final version of DirectX available for Windows ME is DirectX 9.0c, which was released on 7 April 2006. Networking technologies [ ] • Net Crawler: Windows ME introduced a net crawling feature which automatically searches out and creates shortcuts to network shares and printers in My Network Places. This can be controlled using the Automatically search for network folders and printers option. Shortcuts that are added by the net crawler but not detected again on the network in a reasonable time period are aged out and deleted. • New Stack: Windows ME includes the networking stack and architecture which was known to be more reliable, full-featured, stable and offered better performance. Support for networking over, improved support, a network diagnostic troubleshooter and a new Home Networking wizard are also included.

• The Home Networking Wizard is designed to help users to set up a computer that is running Windows ME for use on a small. This includes setting up (ICS) on a computer running Windows ME so the computer can share a connection to the Internet with other computers on the home network. • Networking component was updated in Windows ME, and provides several enhancements while maintaining the desired features of prior releases of the operating system. The user interface had been reworked to provide all configurable parameters in one convenient location. The user interface now included three new tabs: Networking, Security and Dialing. To improve dial-up networking, Windows ME includes built-in support for the Connection Manager dial-up client.

Using the Connection Manager Administration Kit (an optional networking component in Windows 2000 Server), network administrators can pre-configure and deploy dial-up networking connections, by means of a Connection Manager service profile, to Windows ME–based client machines. • (NDIS) version 5.0 for Windows ME was enhanced to provide programming interface parity with NDIS version 5.0 in Windows 2000. This means that the programming interfaces that the author of a network device driver uses are the same for both of these Windows platforms. •: Windows ME introduced support for Universal Plug and Play (UPnP).

Universal Plug and Play and NAT traversal APIs can also be installed on and by installing the Windows XP Network Setup Wizard. System utilities [ ] •: Windows ME introduced the 'System Restore' logging and reversion system, which was meant to simplify troubleshooting and solve problems. It was intended to work as a rollback and recovery feature so that if the installation of an application or a driver adversely affected the system, the user could undo the installation and return the system to a previously working state. It does this by monitoring changes to Windows system files and the. System Restore protects only the operating system files, not documents, and therefore is not a substitute for a backup program. •: First introduced with (as ), and expanding on the capabilities introduced with in Windows 98, aimed to protect system files from modification and corruption silently and automatically.

When the file protection is in effect, replacing or deleting a system file causes Windows ME to silently restore the original copy. The original is taken from a hard drive backup folder (%WinDir% Options Install) or from the Windows ME installation CD, if the cached copy of files on the hard disk has been deleted.

If no installation CD is in the drive, a dialog box alerts the user about the problem and requests that the CD be inserted. Is a different technology from and should not be confused with the latter.

Maintains a broad set of changed files including added applications and user configuration data stored repeatedly at specific points in time restored by the user, whereas protects operating system files with no user input. • allows users to manually extract and restore individual system files from the Windows ME setup files. It has also been updated with three new tabs called 'Static VxDs', 'Environment' and 'International'. The Static VxDs tab allows users to enable or disable static to be loaded at startup, the Environment tab allows users to enable or disable, and the International tab allows users to set international language keyboard layout settings that were formerly set via the real mode MS-DOS configuration files. A Cleanup button on the Startup tab allows cleaning up invalid or deleted startup entries. • has been updated with a Dial-Up Adapter section.

Users can now monitor items such as Connection Speeds, Bytes Received or Transmitted / Second. • runs from within Windows upon an improper shutdown before the loads. •: The Automatic Updates utility automatically downloads and installs critical updates from the Web site with little user interaction. It is set up to check Windows Update once every 24 hours by default. Users can choose to download which update they want, although high-priority updates must be downloaded and installed.

• Compressed Folders: Windows ME includes support for files through a shell extension known as Compressed Folders. Originally introduced in the pack for Windows 98, this feature allows users to create, access and extract files from ZIP archives similar to a regular folder in Windows. The user can also restrict access to files with a password.

• A new Help and Support program has also been added, replacing the -based documentation in Windows 2000 and Windows 98. The Help and Support Center is entirely HTML-based and takes advantage of a technology called Support Automation Framework (SAF), that can show support information from the internet, allows collecting data for troubleshooting via WMI and scripting and for third parties to plug into Windows Help and Support. Several other support tools also shipped with Windows ME. • Windows ME also includes Internet Explorer 5.5 which supports a new Print Preview feature.

It also shipped with the Service. Accessibility features [ ] •: Originally introduced with Windows 2000, a program called On-Screen Keyboard has been added, which makes it possible to input characters using the mouse instead of the keyboard. This feature is useful for computers that use a as the primary pointing device or for purposes.

• The Mouse Control Panel incorporates features, namely ClickLock (selecting or dragging without continuously holding down the mouse button), hiding the pointer while typing and showing it by pressing Ctrl. • The cursor (system caret) can be set to a thicker width. • Increased support in utilities such as and. Removed features [ ] Real mode DOS [ ]. This section needs additional citations for. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (August 2013) () Windows ME restricted support for.

As a result, in Windows ME disregards, and and directly executes. In its default configuration the system would neither boot into an MS-DOS command prompt nor exit to DOS from Windows; real mode drivers such as could not be loaded and older applications that require real mode could not be run. Microsoft argued that the change improved the speed and reliability of the boot process. Digicom Driver Usb Wave 54cm. In Windows ME, the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files are used only to set global. The two files (if present) are scanned for settings relating to the environment variables, and any other commands present are removed into a Windows registry key (see below). The two files thus contain only settings and preferences which configure the 'global environment' for the computer during the boot phase or when starting a new (VDM).

To specify or edit other startup values (which, in Windows 98, would be present in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file) the user must edit the following Windows registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE System CurrentControlSet Control SessionManager Environment For troubleshooting and crash recovery, both the Windows ME CD-ROM and the Windows ME startup disk (a user-createable floppy disk, known as the Emergency Boot Disk (EBD)) allowed booting into real mode MS-DOS. It is possible to restore real mode DOS functionality through various unofficial means. Additionally, a registry setting exists that re-enables the 'Restart in MS-DOS mode' option in the. Other components [ ] Unlike past versions of Windows, Windows ME was aimed primarily at home users, and removed certain -oriented features. Several features of its predecessors did not work or were officially unsupported by Microsoft on Windows ME, including Automated Installation, client services, System Policy Editor, and. These features were supported on its predecessors, Windows 98 and Windows 95. A publication, targeted towards system administrators, was never published for Windows ME.

Other features removed or never updated to work with Windows ME included, and, as well as the conversion tool. Several commands were removed in Windows ME. Reception [ ] Windows ME was heavily criticized by some users, mainly for stability issues. A PC World article dubbed Windows ME the 'Mistake Edition' and placed it 4th in their 'Worst Tech Products of All Time' feature. 'Shortly after ME appeared in late 2000,' the article states, 'users reported problems installing it, getting it to run, getting it to work with other hardware or software, and getting it to stop running.'

System Restore also suffered from a bug in the date-stamping functionality that could cause System Restore to date-stamp snapshots that were taken after 8 September 2001 incorrectly. This could prevent System Restore from locating these snapshots and cause the system restore process to fail. Microsoft released an update to fix this problem. One of the most common errors was on startup and shutdown, when the computer would display a instead of starting up or shutting down. Byron Hinson and Julien Jay writing for ActiveWin took an appreciative look on the operating system. On the removal of, they had noted 'The removal of DOS has clearly made a difference in Windows Me in terms of stability (far less Blue Screens of Death are seen now) and booting speed has greatly increased.' In a recommendation of the operating system upgrade for users of Windows 95 and 98, they had stated 'If Windows Me isn't a revolutionary OS it's clear that Microsoft has focused its efforts to make it more user-friendly, stable and packed full of multimedia options.

The result is great and the enhancements added are really worth the wait.' Relation to other Windows releases [ ]. This section possibly contains. Please by the claims made and adding.

Statements consisting only of original research should be removed. (November 2014) () Windows ME was complemented by -based, which was aimed at professional users. Both operating systems were succeeded by with their features unified.

All Windows ME support, including security updates and security related hotfixes, was terminated on July 11, 2006. Support for Windows 98 was also terminated on that date. Many third-party applications written for earlier editions of Microsoft Windows, especially older games, run under Windows ME but not under Windows 2000. This fact has become less relevant with the sharp decline in popularity of Windows ME after the release of Windows XP, which features a which allows many of these older applications to run. If an installation CD-ROM from the Windows 2000 family is inserted into the drive of a computer running Windows ME, the user is prompted to upgrade to Windows 2000 because Windows ME has an older version number than Windows 2000. While this is not technically so (Windows ME was released several months after Windows 2000), Windows ME is in fact derived from the older, monolithic MS-DOS codebase (Windows 4.x) while Windows 2000 is the first of the NT 5.0 family, making the latter an upgrade.

Windows 2000 cannot, however, be upgraded to Windows ME. If an installation CD-ROM from Windows ME is inserted while running Windows 2000, the user will receive an error message that Setup cannot run from within Windows 2000. The user is prompted to shut down Windows 2000, restart the computer using Windows 95, 98, or 98 SE, or start MS-DOS and then run Setup from the MS-DOS command prompt.

Windows XP, which is NT-based, became the successor to Windows ME. It also closed the gap between consumer Windows and Windows NT. In addition, no service packs for Windows ME were released. Along with Windows 2000 from the family, Windows ME was the last version of Windows that lacked. Windows ME was the last Windows release to be based on the Windows 9x () kernel and MS-DOS. Product life cycle [ ] Microsoft planned to stop its support for Windows ME on December 31, 2004.

However, in order to give customers more time to migrate to newer Windows versions, particularly in developing or emerging markets, Microsoft decided to maintain support until July 11, 2006. Support for Windows 98 also ended on this date. Microsoft ended support for these products because the company considers them obsolete and running these products can expose users to security risks. System requirements [ ] System requirements for running Windows ME Minimum Recommended x86 CPU, 150, 300 Memory 32 64 Hard drive 320 2 Media. • Sound card • Speakers or headphones Microphone for Network None 56.6 modem or faster with current Internet connection Input device(s) or compatible pointing device Windows ME is not designed to handle more than 512 MB of RAM by default.

Systems with larger RAM pools may lose stability; however, depending on the hardware and software configuration, it is sometimes possible to manually tweak the installation to continue working with somewhat larger amounts of RAM as well. Systems with 1.5 GB of RAM or more may reboot continuously during startup. Name capitalization and pronunciation [ ] Both the 'Windows Me' and 'Windows ME' spellings are used when referring to the operating system, with 'Windows Me' being used by Microsoft and PCWorld.
