This is interesting. If you do a seach on microsoft.com for ArcServe compatibility with Windows2000 you get this...

EdNieto - My guess is this is what you were hearing rumors about: http://www.theregus.com/content/4/25513.html

What third party software lets you eject a 3.25" floppy disk without pushing the tab?

It can't be done. The eject button for a floppy drive is not software controlled, you must physically push that little tab with your finger.

I am in the EXACT same situation. I was planning on just running the upgrade wizard on the Win2000 Server CD. It should migrate everything over for you. You'll have to make some decisions about setting up a DNS server and Active Directory, but it SHOULD be fairly simple. Is there anyone who...

We've been using Norton on all our companies computers (5 NT 4.0 servers and 60 Windows 98 clients). It works VERY well and is fairly easy to setup.

If I go to a domain controller, select Mappings -> Show Database from WINS Manager, select Show All Mappings, and delete all of the displayed records, will that delete ALL WINS records for the domain? I don't want to have to go around to every domain controller and do this... Thanks.

Does Dameware have anything to do with Windows for Women?

Definitly something along the lines of "How to replace a PDC with a machine of the same name."

It won't work at all. You cannot have an NT 4.0 PDC with a Win2000 BDC. The first domain controller with Win2000 MUST be the PDC. What I would recommend is: 1) Setup the new 2500 server with WinNT as a BDC. 2) Upgrade the PDC to Win2000 3) Upgrade the BDC from step 1 to Win2000

I'm in the process of doing the EXACT same thing: thread55-296021

They are both miserable products. I would suggest you take a look at Yosemite's TapeWare software.

I meant to say the Win2000 server is a STAND ALONE server, not a member server.

I gotcha ilpadrino. There are about 50 machines logging in to the domain (all running Win98). We have 5 BDCs running WinNT and a member server running Win2000. We planned on deleting all WINS records in step 4, just before changing the IP and re-naming...

Thanks juggy - that sounds exactly like what we are planning to do, with one exception: we were going to change the IP address first (restart the machine, synchronize daomin, wait 20 minutes), and THEN rename the machine. Is there any reason to rename first and then change the IP? Does it matter?

It's no picnic: http://www.winnetmag.com/Articles/Index.cfm?ArticleID=4784

ilpadrino - It should be pretty easy - it's a feature built into NT (right click Network neighborhood, select Properties, and you can change the name of the computer or domain).

This is exactly what I've been doing with our company's PDC for the past two weeks. See my thread here: thread55-296021 bring the new machine on as a BDC, install all needed programs, copy all files over, and then take a look at my plan in the above post.

Here's our plan (POOH is the current PDC, NEWPOOH is the machine replacing it): 1. Promote NEWPOOH to PDC (POOH will be automatically demoted to BDC) 2. Synchronize domain and wait 20 minutes 3. Shutdown POOH, unplug from network and synchronize domain (POOH will automatically be removed...

OK, after re-installing about eight times (doing the EXACT same thing each time) it worked. I have no idea why. Oh wait, yes I do: it's a Microsoft product.
