Bah! Install another (member) server as Win2k and then migrate to E2k Then remove the old E5.5 server
Not as easy as it sounds, but probably your best route given what you are describing I'll never do an inplace upgrade to E2k unless I have no other option.... And I will always have another option. Learn that NetDiag and DCDiag are your best friends Then read the Win2k DNS white paper up and down -----Original Message----- From: Pennell, Ronald B.

Since, I need to be in native mode to ensure that the permissions, DL's and public folders are OK when I add my exchange 2000 server.

Instead, build a windows 2000 member server in the NT 4 domain and install Exchange 5.5 , make it the second server in the site. Use the Ed Crowley move server method and then follow the steps to remove the first server from the site.
