Right now we are in mixed mode as we have to keep a couple of the W2k DC's running. W2K3-DC (server) is the ops master and pdc emulator. However, I have run into two situations where it seems the old W2K DC (DC1) ops master seems to be causing problems. Case 1: Windows time. It appears most pc's are syncing their clocks to DC1 instead of W2K3-DC. Case 2: GPO's are not applying properly (note we don't have that many and they only apply to specific computers). Usually the error on the pc in question is that it can't contact a domain controllers to get the policy. I'm perplexed over this as I thought that whatever was the Ops Master for the domain was the top-level controller (for want of a better phrase). _____ Your E-mail and More On-the-Go.
