Upgrading NT4 SMS2 Central server to WIN2K

[choci]

I am about to upgrade my SMS central Site Server from Windows NT 4.0 with SMS 2.0 (SP3) and SQL7 (SP3)) to Windows 2000.

However, I have been unable to find detailed Microsoft documents on how to perform the upgrade. I want to do an in-place upgrade seeing how my hardware is sufficient.

- I plan to perform a full flat backup of the server and database.

- Now, I'm not sure. I may leave the SMS and SQL services shut down duing the windows 2000 upgrade process. I'm not sure...what do you recommend?


Am I missing any steps? In general the upgrade process should be pretty straight forward.

Any detailed advice or pitfalls would be greatly appreciated

Paul.

The upgrade for both SQL 2000 and Windows 2000 works very well. I would do the SQL 2000 upgrade first, and then perform the Windows 2000 upgrade last.
