I'm converting a customer from an NT 4.0 Domain based model to Active directory.
My problem is this.... I'm very tempted to fire up Win2k server on a brand new box running native mode. Once set up I could use the Win2k version of NetDom to create trusts to the existing NT 4.0 servers. Now I've got a fully functional AD domain for testing before adding all of my NT 4.0 users etc. This all sounds great... but I think the fly in the ointment is getting AD users access to exchange 5.5 running on an NT 4.0 Primary Domain Controller. I could always put NT 4.0, promote to NT 4.0 PDC and up upgrade to Win2k Server "Mixed Mode" but I've always been weary of ANY upgrade vs. a fresh install on Servers. Would the Exchange "Active Directory Connecter" help me here or is that more of a tool for a mixed Exchange server environment? Any Thoughts... James M. Brown, CNE, MCSE J.B.
