That's great. You guys have been very helpful and I learned a ton. I'm a coder/DB guy by nature- I just have to put the Network Admin cap on every once in a while since we're a smaller company with a 2-man shop. I'll scan these forums more often in order to repay the good advice I've gotten here...

Guys, this may have been a multi-part problem. I think I just figured out the obvious part of the problem, which should force me to wear a dunce cap for the rest of the day. The other part of the problem could have been the W2k AD schema, old DNS entries, etc., which we cleaned up with this very...

Freestone- all great suggestions. TCP/IP properties on the new server are good, clean. IPCONFIG /all shows only new server info on the client PC. Clean. No defunct drive mappings. Yes, FSMO roles have all been moved, confirmed, locked, and loaded. No clues in the event logs of either the...

Netdiag on the new DC passes with a couple warnings. NetBT name test. . . . . . . . . . : Passed [WARNING] You don't have a single interface with the <00> 'WorkStation Service', <03> 'Messenger Service', <20> 'WINS' names defined. NetBT name test. . . . . . : Passed [WARNING] At...

Just ran DCDIAG, all tests passed just fine. I'll get back to you on the other questions.

I'm not sure if the domainprep and forest prep were done. I had a consultant add the 2003 domain controller in the winter of 2006- almost 2 years ago to the day. The FSMO roles were moved over this summer with no errors, and the old server was demoted this summer with no errors. The only...

Techy, it's an option because running 2000 mixed mode or 2000 native is the only way to have a mix of 2003 and 2000 DC's in your network. Since I had both at one time, it was running 2000 mixed. I'll raise the domain and forest levels and see what that does.

Techie, the old server has already been completely demoted and all FSMO roles have been moved over. The AD is still at the W2K level though- I haven't upgraded the AD to 2003 mode. Keep ing the server around is not an option.

Techy, you're on to something for sure. There is definitely a name resolution issue of some sort. I just uninstalled DNS on the old server, by the way. No noticeable difference with my computer. I'll also say that not all clients are experiencing this. All clients are XP SP3 but I've gotten...

Techy, I just unplugged the server and rebooted my laptop. Slow as could be. Major hang on startup after login, and major hang (20 seconds +) opening a file share on a different server or clicking around in Outlook, and major hang merely opening the remote desktop client. I had the packet...

Sniper, I already verified that the new server is a GC by noting the checkbox in the global catalog option in the AD Sites/services MMC. Techy, I see this request when I try to do something that would previously hang when the old server was unplugged, such as mapping a file share or opening...

Another clue- if I disable Netbios over TCP/IP on my client machine, I still see a request to the old server using my packet sniffer, but on a different port: 7 TCP 172.16.100.47 172.16.100.15 2882 445 microsoft-ds 74 1,410 Bytes 4,522 Bytes 12/4/2008 11:02:33 AM:684

Freestone- on my client PC? No. It was configured to take the settings from DHCP. The DCHP setup on my new server does not appear to be configured to point to the old server for anything that I can see.

Sniper, Those services are what are running on the OLD server. The do-everything server (old, demoted no-longer-DC) which now does nothing except serve up legacy applications. Guys, my packet sniffer is clearly showing netbios requests to the old server IP from my client PC. If I had to guess...

TechyMc, I just checked and the new server does have Global Catalog checked. The old server is listed under "Servers" but it does not have any NTDS settings at all.

I transferred all FSMO roles to the new server- hopefully that included the GC. The network will run just fine with this server off- it's just really slow. The Net view command does in fact return the new server name.

ANOTHER CLUE: I installed a packet sniffer on my client PC. When I do something that typically slows things down to a crawl with the old server off, guess what? I get an outbound request to the old server's IP, for the Netbios service. Any help?

Is there any reason that you need to cast the result of the equation into an INT and THEN cast it to varchar?

Another update: This was the actual problem: http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1517205&page=1 Turns out that we took this server off line at the exact same time. Just goes to show that you never know what can cause certain things to go wrong!

In your "Then" statement, try enclosing the 0 in single quotes, such as: then '0'. That way your column won't change data types based on the case statement.
