Hi All,

I am working on upgrading my domain to 2008. I currently have 2 2003 domain controllers, and will adding adding a new 2008 R2 domain controller to my domain and taking one of my 2003 domain controllers offline. 

I have ran all the Preps for this upgrade and am seeing a few errors in the dcpromo that I need help with. After I run the drpromo I am getting the following errors. Is it ok to continue without having an rodc on the domain?

Hi

 please check the domain functional level first,needs to be least Windows server 2003.(also your server 2003 least sp1 also)

Also check this article for migrate from 2003 to 2008;

Hi,

If you are not going to get an RODC, this message could be ignored. From your description you are not trying to get an RODC. So simply click YES and continue the process.
