Agreed. The only issue I've seen with downlevel clients in our native mode
deployments has been the password complexity issues I've noted before, where
users with non-complex passwords prior to enabling enforced complexity
cannot change their own passwords.
I have completed a rollback with Windows 2000 AD back to NT4 and had no problems with
the W2K clients authenticating back to NT4. Maybe this was just look and something to
do with the reasonings behind the rollback but thought it was worth a mention.

You need to run in mixed mode until the last nt4 server or client leaves the
network,
also, if you run mixed mode, you can still roll-back,

Correct about servers but clients are really irrelevant with regards to
Native vs. Mixed mode.

You can have NT 4 servers and still switch to Native mode. However, the
servers cannot be Domain Controllers.

This is incorrect, you can switch from mixed mode to native mode as soon
as you don't have NT4 BDC's. NT4/Win9x clients/servers will work with a
Native Mode AD Domain just fine.
The roll back is correct with mixed mode though once you get very far
into the migration a rollback becomes more and
In that case I would expect NT4.0 member servers and workstations to be
irrelevant and the only real concern, which by now we should all know
about, is NT4.0 BDC's. But you're right. Because of our shoestring
budget, basically $0.00 (but we can add a lot of 0's to the left of the

I have had trouble with win98 and nt4 ws when I went to Native, and did not
have an NT4 domain controller.
What did I do wrong.

Since we lack sufficient budget to perform a proper migration
we'll need to do in-place upgrades to our domains and then
You only need to be in mixed mode until all NT4 domain controllers are gone
in the domain. Mixed mode/Native Mode has no impact on what clients can be
served.

Define your troubles. My guess would would be name res issues because
people start to forget about WINS once they move to AD and W2K Machines.
I have tens of thousands of Win9x and NT4 clients and hundreds of NT4
Servers that are functioning well in a Native mode domain environments
and have
