Or use the snip below from Anthony Bennett: Forget UPTOMP. I have successfully used the following technique as provided by Microsoft: 1) Put 2nd processor in 2) Regurgitated from archive (courtesy of Dave Nestor from Microsoft): I would recommend against using Uptomp.exe unless you have revision 3 of the NT4 Resource Kit. A simpler way to do this is to edit the hidden, read-only file called setup.log that's in the \WINNT\Repair directory and reapply your current service pack. Update.exe from the service pack relies on information in setup.log for the proper files to install, it does not do any discovery process, so if the wrong information is in that file, a dual processor computer can be blindly returned to single processor mode. Six files in the System32 directory determine NT's multiprocessor capability. NT is multiprocessor by default which is why we load the mutliprocessor kernel during a fresh install. Later during that install, if only a single processor is found, we install hal.dll or halapic.dll and rename it to hal.dll and copy in ntoskrnl.exe. Setup will also "smash locks" on four other files, kernel32.dll, ntdll.dll, win32k.sys and winsrv.dll to make them single processor versions. Failure to alter those four files will burden a single processor computer with about a 5% performance hit. Therefore, the manual way to do an upgrade is, from a command prompt only (using a GUI will give you an access violation) rename the current six files to *.old and copy in fresh versions of kernel32.dll ntdll.dll win32k.sys winsrv.dll halmps.dll and rename it to hal.dll ntkrnlmp.exe and rename it to ntoskrnl.exe Of course, these had better be files from your current service pack and not from the original CD. Now you're left with the problem of the setup.log file containing single processor information. The next service pack install will move you back to a single processor version of NT. So edit that file with the following information, being careful to enter the correct checksums which will tell the next service pack not to "smash locks" on four files. \WINNT\system32\ntoskrnl.exe = "ntkrnlmp.exe","e76ab" \WINNT\system32\hal.dll = "halmps.dll","1a01c" \WINNT\system32\kernel32.dll = "kernel32.dll","5b7f8" \WINNT\system32\ntdll.dll = "ntdll.dll","59c19" \WINNT\system32\win32k.sys = "win32k.sys","132603" \WINNT\system32\winsrv.dll = "winsrv.dll","37b4e" Do a notepad search on the individual file names to find these lines, since they are not together in setup.log. OK, now you're done. Or, edit the setup.log first and reapply your current service pack. That's the quick way to do this. = Cheers, Anthony Bennett -Original Message-From: Blake R.

Create an LMHOSTS file on the WINS server, carefully format it to stuff in the 16th character that indicates who your PDC is, then go into WINSadmin and import the file, it creates a static WINS entry with the extra bit to define the service.

Just wondering what policies are set up at other companies to compensate for over time. We consistently work about 8-12 hours over a month and we get no time off or anything for this.

RE: W2K DC requirements
Generally speaking folks tend to draw the line at PII 400 with 256 MB of RAM or thereabouts for DCs. I think that you don't need a gig of RAM, unless you have a huge org. Your first DC will have all of the FSMO roles so it really should be a bit beefier, unless you want to shuffle things around. Hardware RAID is a MUST for DCs, depending on the size of your org your RAID config would vary. AD is your chance to combine domains, not split, unless you have a REALLY compelling reason, you should use OUs to divide stuff.
