First, we are a little late doing this, I know.
We are going to get a new W2k server and want to move our PDC information from the old NT 4 to this new W2k to become our DC. Also, our old NT 4 is our Exchange 5.5 server and we want to move all the e-mail users and e-mails to this new server...
We have our workstations, servers setup with our internal UNIX server as the first DNS server and our ISP's external DNS server as our second DNS server within Microsoft DNS Server Search Order.
NSlookup will only search our internal server and does not try to resolve to our ISP server...
So, the best thing to do is to setup the W2k server as a DC and configure the NT4 servers for the W2k domain?
What about the login script.. Can you setup an NT4 domain to share a drive on the W2k server? Thanks,
Vince
I have been told that you can do this. We are actually in the process of doing this same thing until we upgrade. I am curious to see what information comes from this request. Good luck. I will keep in touch as I work through this. Thanks,
Vince
Well, we want to go on and set this one up with Windows 2000. We bought license upgrades for our current NT 4.0 and it's BDCs. I figure we could set it up as a stand alone 2K Server, then change it to a BDC after we upgrade the NT 4.0. I appreciate the quick answer though. THANKS ALOT...
We are running NT 4.0 and want to setup W2k server as a Disaster Recovery for our domain. Can it be setup as a BDC? Any ideas as to whether we should do this or set it up another way to perform as a Disaster Recovery system? Thanks,
Vince
I have since quit using the brick level backup. I have tried different installs and patch sequences. None seem to work. I tried to work with CAI to correct it, but it did not work.
Thanks,
Vince
I went ahead and verified that I didn't have any mailboxes with the same first three letters. Good to go. Yes. I have InoculateIT running on a server and I am using it on the Exchange Server. I am using version 4.53. I checked the thread and you're right. I forgot to post that.
Thanks...
OK. It didn't work. Same e8602 as always. I put the qo06202 patch that was originally suggested. Once I do that, I get a security error in the backup tree when I try to access the Exchange Brick Level. I tried accessing it through the Agent tree and the actual domain. It says invalid user...
Well, I installed the LO94975 patch, then I tried to install the qo06202 patch. It didn't work. So, I tried to install JUST the LO94975 patch. It worked. I was able to open up the Exchange brick level and see my mailboxes. I setup the backup to run tonight. I will find out if it works...
I just finished re-booting my system and removed the Exchange backup. I was going to add it back in, but now the A2k administrator hangs when I try to look at the mailboxes in the tree.
I was going to load the LO94975 patch.
-Read/write error during brick-level backup

ARCserveGuru, it is the same as the first time:
[E8602 Failed to read from database. (DBNAME= Individual Mailboxes\*****\Calendar, EC= Backup Agent Error -- (69) "Read/Write error in named pipes.".)].
Yes, we are running Inoculate 4.53.
Duran, I will definitely try that out...
Well, it's about 4:30 Central and I just checked my exchange backup. It's still running, but the last few mailboxes have the original E8602 BACKUP AGENT ERROR.
Back to the drawing board I guess. I checked the permissions and they are correct. I appreciate the ideas. I needed to put the...
I got your e-mails. The backup is still running. I am waiting for it to finish, but it actually does not show any activity or job log errors. It's hopeful. The only reguirements the sheet shows is
1. This fix requires ARCserve 2000 Advanced Edition Exchange Agent
for NT/2000 or Exchange 2000...
