I have looked at various web sites and can't get a good starter guide for migration from a mixed NT/Windows 2000 environment to Windows 2000 and Active Directory so I'm hoping someone can offer advice or sites.
I have: 1 x NT 4 Server doing (finally) nothing but User Authentication. 3 x Windows 2000 Servers logging in to the NT domain 1 x Windows 2000 Server running Active Directory and Exchange 2000 (AD was required) 30-odd x Windows 2000 Pro workstations 2 x Win98 PCs that are to be upgraded to Win2K ASAP 1 x NT 4 Server in a remote office connected to the LAN using VPN over IDSL to a T1 at this office that will probably be last to be upgraded to Win2K. One of the Win2K Servers that log into the NT domain is running SQL 2000 and if I move my own workstation to the Active Directory I lose my ability to use any databases accessing the SQL 2000 database - presumably due to a lack of trust between the AD and NT Domain. I need to do a staged transition to Active Directory (as I'm sure most people must) but the biggest problem I face is that I don't know how to allow the SQL 2000 db accessible on both the NT Domain and AD - is it possible? If not, what workarounds are there? Also, do I *need* to have all workstations running Win2K Pro or is Win98/NT4 Server okay in the short-term? Thanks for any pointers, Alex ------ You are subscribed as [email protected] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
