4.8.5

Upgrade installation of a backup domain controller from
Version 3.5 or 4.0

To upgrade a backup domain controller from a previous Advanced Server for UNIX version,
proceed as follows. In contrast to an upgrade installation from Version 2.x, the data can be
upgraded directly; no conversion has to be done. Normally the upgrade of a backup domain
controller does not differ from the upgrade of a primary domain controller.

However there is one known problem during the upgrade of an Advanced Server for UNIX
Version 3.5 that was a backup domain controller on a server with a german names for
builtin objects (either a german Windows NT Server or an Advanced Server for UNIX
Version 4.0 with a german

domain language

). In this case it can happen that the database is

reported corrupt. See the detailed description below.

If the primary domain controller of the domain you want to join is located in a different
subnet, you have to ensure that the domain name and the server name of the primary
domain controller can be resolved by the local NetBIOS. Please refer to the section

“Installing NetBIOS”

on how to accomplish this. Although this name resolution is important

for the functionality of the backup domain controller, it is needed during the installation only
if the database is corrupt.
