In this chapter, we covered the new Active Directory features in Windows Server 2003 SP1 and Windows Server 2003 R2. Further, we mentioned that while Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 is an important, if not critical, upgrade, R2 is optional and should only be done if you need one or more of the feature packs included in the release. Next, we discussed the processes involved with upgrading from a Windows Server 2003 Active Directory and domain controllers to Windows Server SP1 and then R2. Finally, we discussed the ForestPrep process and how that must be completed prior to introduction of the first R2 domain controller.
