Thanks to Master Andrew's info, I upgraded the PDC and so far, a full day later, things are running flawlessly. Now I can take everything other than accounting off the ugly server.

You have: NT4 PDC w/ fax software that is getting upgraded. NT4 BDC w/ old accounting software that bean counters don't want to upgrade yet. Four W2K servers. You need: W2K server for the new fax software. W2K server for file/print services. Why can't these go on a W2K member server in your existing domain? Then you can take the fax stuff off the PDC and you don't change your current domain setup. Or am I overlooking something you need? Also it sounds like you need a test W2k server to see if there really are any issues with the accounting app moving to Win2K, not to mention other W2K testing. Doesn't every IT shop need a sever (or six!) they can break?

It's currently running fax server software that is outgrowing the box. We need a new server to replace it and it needs to be Win 2K. Now I have only 1 BDC and 1 PDC. If I take the PDC offline and promote the BDC to a PDC, I only have one DC on this network. Can the Win 2K be a DC on NT4 domain. If so how? All this being said, can anybody point me to a good Win 2K book that'll help me get educated. I also plan to setup a test lab as well. ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% ------ You are subscribed as [email protected] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
