RE: [ActiveDir] Native Mode

Title: Message

It sounds like your name resolution environment (specifically WINS) isn't correct. I've run plenty of downlevel clients in many offices with intermittent issues accessing the PDCE. The only thing downlevel clients require a PDCE for is changing passwords, which is the same thing required from NT4 PDC's.     -------------------------------------------------------------- Roger D.

Just wanted to clear one doubt. Is native mode related only to domain controllers? Can we have NT 4.0 clients in Native Mode? Or do we need everything to be in Win2K including domain controllers and clients?  Regards, Sudhir Kaushal Systems Administrator ( Hosted Team ) eGain Communications Pvt. Ltd.
