We upgraded from NT4 to Win2K3 in July '05 with help from a consultant. Last
November I began the process of changing the functional level, and discovered
that the NT4Emulator setting was still enabled on the DCs. Disabling the
setting blew up all my Win2K and newer member computer connections to the
domain. Needless to say, in a healthcare environment, that went over like a
lead ballon. Not sure why the setting was left enabled after the upgrade was
complete and verified as successful... Anyway, the setting is re-enabled now,
and I'll have to deal with it again soon. Any pointers would be appreciated.
Any NT4 DCs out there? If so, no can do. If you have Win9x clients or even
WinNT member devices on the network, I would make sure they get replaced first.
Save yourself the aggravation of fighting those headaches.
