Ken, You are welcome. I am hearing the first part of the web seminar that I missed yesterday and Microsoft says that there is no impact to introduce a Win2003 member server into a W2K forest.
The seminar link was split when I sent my last msg out. Let me try again. You may need to paste the pieces into the browser address. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft. com/servicedesks/webcasts/wc021803/wcblurb021803.asp -----Original Message----- From: Garello, Kenneth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 19, 2003 12:52 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] .net RC2 Thanks for the info.

Don't just download the PPT slides. Listen to the engineers in the webcast link. You can jump from slide to slide and the audio follows. I don't know if the addition of a member server requires a schema update. The addition of a 2003 domain controller certainly does. The seminar also discussed the problem of adding a 2003 DC to a W2K forest that has Exchange 2000 (slide 14 in the presentation). The origina install of Exchange 2000 into a W@K environment added two "corrupted" LDAP objects: LabeledURI and Secretary. This must be fixed beofre adding 2003 DCs. You must: 1. Run a script that corrects these two objects to avoid LDAP "name mangling". 2. Run ADPREP /FORESTPREP. 3. Run ADPREP /DOMAINPREP. These 3 steps clean up that problem. As an aside, slide 35 describes a known client-side bug. Problem: After a user changes his or her password, the client continues to send the old password 3x causing an acct lockout on many systems. Happens with 9x and W2K. Fixes are available. As a result, Microsoft recommends setting the low threshold of incorrect passwords to 10, rather than something reasonable like 3. Sorry I didn't specifically answer your question but it is definitely worth your while to view and listen to the webcast.

I know it's a vague question, but I would like to experiment with TS features in a complex environment.
