The more I have done the more I have missed. Every time I catch something, I did about 15 of them in a lab before trying anything real life. That helped out a ton. The latest find to watch out for. Make sure you have pretty much blank DNS on the NT4 machine. If you have bad dns suffix it will append to the new server name and ruin DDNS names. Requiring you to Dcpromo the server out and back in.

Having hit a few bumps in the road myself, i would highly recommend having done your due-diligence and have an outside firm review your thought process. require that they have a project and client list relevant to windows 2000 implementations. Just the books won't cut it. Check out Compaq Consulting. I think the specific team is applied MS technologies. As i recall, they helped MS with their internal rollout. sp3 wes? cheers.byron -----Original Message----- From: Wes Owen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, October 01, 2001 10:30 AM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: RE: Active directory We had some initial issues that were design related which were our own fault. We used an outside consulting firm to verify our plan. First mistake. SP3 fixed some issues that we saw and were big problems, but not something you should see at the start of an implementation. Most problems I would have to say are the result of poor planning. I am not a big fan of outside consultants they tend to know their book learning, but do not have the grasp of a long term support strategy. Sorry if we have some of those consultants here, but our track record with them has not been good. My suggestion would be to you is back off, get the training, plan, test, plan some more, then plan a little more. If you do decide to go with outside consultants get with MS Consulting Services. They are the only ones I have seen that seem to know their stuff. Much as it pains me to say so. Do not assume that they are the same sort of guys that do the PS Support. They are not. Don't forget to plan. -----Original Message----- From: Anthony L.

We tried in once and it failed and we had to revert back, this time we had Lucent here and it has failed again even with all the planning.
