My bosses have finally agreed to upgrade our 2003 Domain Controllers. My only concern is that the existing 2003 servers are currently using Windows Services for Unix and NIS. I'm more than a little concerned that once I add a 2008 R2 DC and start removing
the 2003 DC's that the existing Unix Attributes for user accounts will be removed.
The NIS domain itself doesn't appear to be used anymore. But the rest of the Unix attributes are still actively being used. So I need to confirm whether or not the 2003 Unix Attributes will still be present after 2003 is gone.
Is it accurate that the Attributes won't be changed when moving from 2003-2008-2012, but in order to access them and make changes I'll need to start using Identity Management for Unix in 2008-2012?
