Karl, For the most part our AD upgrades went pretty smoothly except for some problems with a software package which had written some custom AD objects in our schema. Part of the way through the upgrade it would fail and after spending hours on the phone with Microsoft we discovered that there was a known issue with this particular software that had written objects in our schema in an incorrect format. We had to contact the software vendor and obtain an update that went through our directory and fixed the objects so we could then proceed with the upgrade. I apologize for the vagueness of this description but I did not want this to turn into a product bash. So my advice to you would be to verify any of your software packages that have required you to extend the schema in the past and ensure that they are all up to par prior to performing the upgrades. It will save you lots of time on the phone.

I'm surprised the NT4Emulator remains active after elevation! I'm also alarmed to hear that Win2k and newer machines had problems after switching to AD! As it happens, we have, no NT4 DCs, only the ex-PDC NT4Emulator. Thanks Karl Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail.
