Migrating to Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 on Compaq Servers

First Edition (January 1997)

Document Number 467A/0197

WHITE PAPER (cont.)

467A/0197

OVERVIEW

There are many reasons for migrating to Windows NT Server 4.0. Enhancements and new features

for Windows NT Server 4.0 provide an ideal platform to support file-and-print, application server,

and internet/intranet computing environments.

New features and enhancements include:

•• Better performance and ease-of-use in TCP/IP networks

• User interface more consistent with Microsoft Windows 95 and Windows NT Workstation 4.0

• Remote Boot (RIPL) support for diskless Windows and DOS clients

• Improved support for remote clients with Remote Access Services (RAS)

• Improved interoperability with NetWare servers through Gateway (and Client) Services for

NetWare

• Expanded support for graphics and multimedia

• Better networking and security management

• New application and file system support

• Expanded printing and font capabilities

• The Administrative wizards group the common server management tools into a single place

making it easier for an administrator to manage user accounts and other function.

• Microsoft Internet Information Server is included in the Windows NT Server 4.0 kit/license.

The Windows NT Server 4.0 operating system now provides better wide-area networking tools

and a powerful internet/intranet server platform. Refer to the Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0

reference documentation for more detailed information.

NOTE: This White Paper does not cover upgrading from Windows NT Workstation 3.51 to

Windows NT Server 4.0.

WINDOWS NT FEATURES NOT AFFECTED BY THE MIGRATION

Windows NT Server 4.0 upgrade process uses the setting from the following features of Windows

NT Server 3.51 to ease the upgrade process:

• Local security accounts

• Custom settings in the registry

• Preferences set for administrative tools and accessories

• Network adapter settings

• Network protocol and service configuration settings

You are not required to perform any special preparation to maintain these features.

CONSIDERATIONS BEFORE MIGRATING

Before you begin the migration, decide what you want to accomplish and what method you want

to use. The method you choose affects the procedures you must perform to accomplish your goals.

No matter which method you choose, Compaq highly recommends that you backup your

system BEFORE you begin the upgrade process.

Compaq has identified some considerations that might affect your configuration and migration

method. These considerations are as follows:

• If you intend to keep a copy of Windows NT Server 3.51 on the server with Windows NT

Server 4.0, you must:

− Maintain the data integrity in current file systems and partitions.

− Completely backup your server.

This White Paper does not cover running dual versions of Windows NT on your server. However,

if you decide to maintain dual versions, Compaq recommends that you refer to the documentation

set provided with the Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 software.

• If your installation consists of domain controllers and multiple servers, you might need to

perform a sequence of upgrades. Microsoft recommends that you upgrade the Primary

Domain Controller (PDC) on a Windows NT Server 3.51 network to Windows NT Server 4.0

before upgrading the Backup Domain Controller(s) (BDC). If you upgrade a server that is not

the PDC first, all the new security information installed for Windows NT Server 4.0 is

replaced when the server restarts. The server automatically replicates all information from the

Windows NT Server 3.51 Domain controller. You can eliminate this problem by first

upgrading the Primary Domain Controller.

• If you are upgrading without Compaq SmartStart, you must install the Compaq Support

Software, (which updates or installs Compaq device drivers and support software) after

installing the Windows NT Server 4.0 operating system.

COMPAQ MIGRATION SCENARIOS

Compaq tested four migration scenarios. Each migration scenario was performed as an in-place

upgrade. The Windows NT Server 4.0 replaces the Windows NT Server 3.51 operating system.

Details on the migration configuration are located before the text describing the scenarios.

NOTE: If you want to maintain dual installations, Compaq recommends that you refer to

the documentation set provided with the Windows NT Server 4.0 software.

OUTLINE OF THE MIGRATION PROCESS

The following list contains the basic tasks involved in the migration process:

• Backup the server

• Determine hard drive space requirements

• Obtain current Windows NT 3.51 support (SSD)

• Disable startup options /services

• Upgrade Windows NT Server

• Upgrade non-Microsoft drivers

• Re-install disabled options/services

• Install the SSD

• Re-install the Compaq Insight Manager Agents

• Install the Microsoft Service Pack

Backup the Server

Compaq highly recommends that you backup your server BEFORE you begin the

upgrade process.

Determine Hard Drive Space Requirements

The Windows NT Server 4.0 Setup program requires that you reserve temporary hard drive space

on the server to perform the upgrade from Windows NT 3.51. The amount of temporary space you

need depends on the Setup method you choose. Installing from a network requires more space

than installing from CD-ROM.

The following provides an estimate of the temporary hard drive space required by the Windows NT

Server 4.0 migration process using either installation method.

• Migrating Windows NT Server 4.0 source files from a network directory - Approximately

100 Megabytes

• Migrating using the Windows NT Server 4.0 installation CD from Microsoft - Approximately

10 Megabytes

NOTE: Windows NT Server 4.0 displays a warning message if the server does not have

sufficient hard drive space.

WHITE PAPER (cont.)

467A/0197

Disable Startup Settings

It is only necessary to make modifications to the device and/or service setting if any of the devices

or services mentioned in the following sections were previously installed or enabled.

NOTE: Disabling or enabling the startup services does NOT have a detrimental effect on

the upgrade process issues; the upgrade process can continue with all of the appropriate

services enabled.

Compaq recommends that you disable certain Service and Device Startup settings before beginning

a Windows NT Server 4.0 migration. This can reduce the number of warnings similar to the

following message from displaying during the installation process:

At least one service or driver failed during system startup. Use the Event Viewer

to examine the Event Log for details.

Disabling Insight Agents and SNMP Services

Follow these steps:

1. Select the Main Window.

2. Select the

Control Panel applet.

3. Open the Services applet. The following screen displays:

4. Highlight Insight Agents then select Startup.

The Services dialogue screen displays (shown on next page).

5. Change the “Startup Type” to Disabled. Select OK to accept the setting.

6. Select “Close” to exit the service applet.

If you previously installed the SNMP Service, it should also be disabled via the Control Panel

Services applets. To disable the SNMP Service, repeat steps 1-5, replacing Insights Agents

with SNMP Service in step #4.

Disabling Compaq ProLiant Storage System and Compaq Systems Management Services

Devices

You must disable the Compaq ProLiant Storage System setting before you upgrade to

Windows NT 4.0 to avoid Service Management errors.

1. Access the Windows NT Server Control Panel, then select Devices. The following screen

displays:

Yes

to continue.

4. To disable the Compaq Systems Management Service, repeat steps 1-3, replacing Compaq

ProLiant Storage System with Compaq Systems Management Service in step #2.

5. Select

Close to exit the Devices applet.

NOTE: If you plan on maintaining both versions of Windows NT on your server, do

not disable the Compaq SCSI Device Monitor. If a warning message displays after

the upgrade process is complete, select

to continue with the installation process.

You can return to the Event Viewer later to view the Event Log and make any

necessary modifications.
