Same Base Operating System

When moving Active Directory between computers the source computer must be running the same base operating system as the destination computer. That is, both must be running Windows 2000 Server or both must be running Windows Server 2003.

In most cases you can move Active Directory to a different edition of Windows Server if the base operating system is the same. For example you can move AD from Small Business Server 2003 to Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition. Or from Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition to Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition.

32-bit to 64-bit

UMove can move Active Directory from the 32-bit edition of Windows Server 2003 (x86) to the 64-bit edition of Windows Server 2003 (x64). You only need to purchase the 64-bit edition of UMove to move AD from 32-bit to 64-bit Windows. No purchase of the 32-bit edition of UMove is necessary. You can download the 32-bit edition of UMove and install it on the 32-bit server using the free evaluation license that is built-in to the software. (Requires UMove Version 1.6.700 or later.)

Windows Server 2003 Release 2

You can move Active Directory from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2003 Release 2 (R2). See these instructions.
