I have set up two schools with this configuration. It does work and work well. It is not a replacement for AD Server though. It basically operates in NT compatibility mode. The main problems that you will run into is with services that are in win2k server (if you even use them) that require AD to function. (RAS,DNS,DHCP). Other than that if you just have a lot of 2k/XP machines you want to join to the network, it works great. -- [email protected] mailing list
