Updrading Dell 775N Windows Powered to WSS 2003 |
|

Hello,
We're planning on upgrading our 775N (coupled with a 1TB PV-210) from
Windows Powered to Windows Storage Server 2003. We have the upgrade kit from
Dell.
I was slightly horrified upon reading that it re-images the OS drives,
versus doing an upgrade. While I understand that this won't touch the data
on the RAID on the PV-210 (I'm going to disconnect it anyway, before running
the upgrade) - won't that wipe out all of the *shares* that point to the
RAID? Granted the permissions and data won't get touched, but we've got
many, many shares (including Macintosh) defined, and re-creating them would
be nightmarish.
Normally, we can import the registry key
SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Shares to get the share info
back. Is that the recommended method when upgrading the NAS operating
system?
Anyone who has already upgraded their Dell NAS to Windows 2003 - any insight
would be great. Thanks!
