OVERVIEW
There are many reasons for migrating to Windows NT Server 4.0. Enhancements and new features
for Windows NT Server 4.0 provide an ideal platform to support file-and-print, application server,
and internet/intranet computing environments.
New features and enhancements include:
•• Better performance and ease-of-use in TCP/IP networks
• User interface more consistent with Microsoft Windows 95 and Windows NT Workstation 4.0
• Remote Boot (RIPL) support for diskless Windows and DOS clients
• Improved support for remote clients with Remote Access Services (RAS)
• Improved interoperability with NetWare servers through Gateway (and Client) Services for
NetWare
• Expanded support for graphics and multimedia
• Better networking and security management
• New application and file system support
• Expanded printing and font capabilities
• The Administrative wizards group the common server management tools into a single place
making it easier for an administrator to manage user accounts and other function.
• Microsoft Internet Information Server is included in the Windows NT Server 4.0 kit/license.
The Windows NT Server 4.0 operating system now provides better wide-area networking tools
and a powerful internet/intranet server platform. Refer to the Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
reference documentation for more detailed information.
NOTE: This White Paper does not cover upgrading from Windows NT Workstation 3.51 to
Windows NT Server 4.0.

WINDOWS NT FEATURES NOT AFFECTED BY THE MIGRATION
Windows NT Server 4.0 upgrade process uses the setting from the following features of Windows
NT Server 3.51 to ease the upgrade process:
• Local security accounts
• Custom settings in the registry
• Preferences set for administrative tools and accessories
• Network adapter settings
• Network protocol and service configuration settings
You are not required to perform any special preparation to maintain these features.
CONSIDERATIONS BEFORE MIGRATING
Before you begin the migration, decide what you want to accomplish and what method you want
to use. The method you choose affects the procedures you must perform to accomplish your goals.
No matter which method you choose, Compaq highly recommends that you backup your
system BEFORE you begin the upgrade process.
Compaq has identified some considerations that might affect your configuration and migration
method. These considerations are as follows:
• If you intend to keep a copy of Windows NT Server 3.51 on the server with Windows NT
Server 4.0, you must:
− Maintain the data integrity in current file systems and partitions.
− Completely backup your server.
This White Paper does not cover running dual versions of Windows NT on your server. However,
if you decide to maintain dual versions, Compaq recommends that you refer to the documentation
set provided with the Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 software.
• If your installation consists of domain controllers and multiple servers, you might need to
perform a sequence of upgrades. Microsoft recommends that you upgrade the Primary
Domain Controller (PDC) on a Windows NT Server 3.51 network to Windows NT Server 4.0
before upgrading the Backup Domain Controller(s) (BDC). If you upgrade a server that is not
the PDC first, all the new security information installed for Windows NT Server 4.0 is
replaced when the server restarts. The server automatically replicates all information from the
Windows NT Server 3.51 Domain controller. You can eliminate this problem by first
upgrading the Primary Domain Controller.
• If you are upgrading without Compaq SmartStart, you must install the Compaq Support
Software, (which updates or installs Compaq device drivers and support software) after
installing the Windows NT Server 4.0 operating system.

COMPAQ MIGRATION SCENARIOS
Compaq tested four migration scenarios. Each migration scenario was performed as an in-place
upgrade. The Windows NT Server 4.0 replaces the Windows NT Server 3.51 operating system.
Details on the migration configuration are located before the text describing the scenarios.
NOTE: If you want to maintain dual installations, Compaq recommends that you refer to
the documentation set provided with the Windows NT Server 4.0 software.
OUTLINE OF THE MIGRATION PROCESS
The following list contains the basic tasks involved in the migration process:
• Backup the server
• Determine hard drive space requirements
• Obtain current Windows NT 3.51 support (SSD)
• Disable startup options /services
• Upgrade Windows NT Server
• Upgrade non-Microsoft drivers
• Re-install disabled options/services
• Install the SSD
• Re-install the Compaq Insight Manager Agents
• Install the Microsoft Service Pack
Backup the Server
Compaq highly recommends that you backup your server BEFORE you begin the
upgrade process.
Determine Hard Drive Space Requirements
The Windows NT Server 4.0 Setup program requires that you reserve temporary hard drive space
on the server to perform the upgrade from Windows NT 3.51. The amount of temporary space you
need depends on the Setup method you choose. Installing from a network requires more space
than installing from CD-ROM.
The following provides an estimate of the temporary hard drive space required by the Windows NT
Server 4.0 migration process using either installation method.
• Migrating Windows NT Server 4.0 source files from a network directory - Approximately
100 Megabytes
• Migrating using the Windows NT Server 4.0 installation CD from Microsoft - Approximately
10 Megabytes
NOTE: Windows NT Server 4.0 displays a warning message if the server does not have
sufficient hard drive space.

Disable Startup Settings
It is only necessary to make modifications to the device and/or service setting if any of the devices
or services mentioned in the following sections were previously installed or enabled.
NOTE: Disabling or enabling the startup services does NOT have a detrimental effect on
the upgrade process issues; the upgrade process can continue with all of the appropriate
services enabled.
Compaq recommends that you disable certain Service and Device Startup settings before beginning
a Windows NT Server 4.0 migration. This can reduce the number of warnings similar to the
following message from displaying during the installation process:
At least one service or driver failed during system startup. Use the Event Viewer
to examine the Event Log for details.
Disabling Insight Agents and SNMP Services
Follow these steps:
1. Select the Main Window.
2. Select the
Control Panel applet.
3. Open the Services applet. The following screen displays:
4. Highlight Insight Agents then select Startup.
The Services dialogue screen displays (shown on next page).

If you previously installed the SNMP Service, it should also be disabled via the Control Panel
Services applets. To disable the SNMP Service, repeat steps 1-5, replacing Insights Agents
with SNMP Service in step #4.
Disabling Compaq ProLiant Storage System and Compaq Systems Management Services
Devices
You must disable the Compaq ProLiant Storage System setting before you upgrade to
Windows NT 4.0 to avoid Service Management errors.
