Are you saying that Active Directory has been set up? Sounds like you'd be
best off demoting them and leaving them as members of the original NT4
domain. Perhaps install a cheap desktop pc as a BDC if you require one.
If you really are going down the AD route, then yes you will need to
consider an ADC, but I'd step back first and tidy up the whole environment
with just NT4 in mind. If AD is up and running already then do you need a
trust to the original NT4 domain as it sounds like the old PDC is still
running?

Subject: Authentication
We are having problems with people being able to open there Outlook
application without being asked for a user name, password, and domain. Also
even after they have supplied the correct information it comes back and asks
for the password again and again and again. you have to cancel out of it
and then Outlook closes. We do run profile maker. Also one of the servers
had to be rebuilt for software problems. So what we did was move the mail
boxes over to another server then rebuilt the other server and started to
move some mailboxes back. Even when the mailboxes were on the single server
we had problems. But from the small amount of tracking we were doing, it
appears that the people that are having problems are the ones that were on
the server that we rebuilt.
Servers are
Rebuilt server upgraded from NT 4 sp4 to Win 2K sp1 running exchange 5.5
sp3 Dual 200mhz with 1 gig of ram and about 36 gigs of hard drive space
Other server
Upgraded Win NT 4.0 sp 4 to Win 2K sp1 running Exchange 5.5 sp3 Dual 450 mhz
over 1 gig of ram and 30 gig of hard drive space.
Both were Backup Domain Controllers under NT 4. I did not promote either to
a DC under Win 2Kuntil this morning and then it was the second one that was
not rebuilt. Also we were/are having DNS issues that are hopefully fixed by
now.
Questions
1. when the user gets the box that asks for user name, password and
domain, what program is asking for that Authentication is it Win 2K or
Exchange
2. will upgrading the 2nd server to a DC take care of the problem
3. will a ADC connector help to fix the problem. I thought you only
needed ADC if you have Exchange 2000 in a Exchange 5.5 environment
anything else would be helpful.
