    I think I messed up

    I think I messed up

    I have a mixed mode 2K domain - doing the "move mailbox" method of updating my ancient 5.5 box to a nice new 2K server, which is also a DC. It is NOT my first DC and is not my GC server. I installed ADC on my future E2K box and sure enough it said "MS strongly recommends that...

    Yet another 5.5 - 2K upgrade question

    Actually not really a question - just looking for a sanity check on my plan. I have a 2K mixed mode domain - I upgraded my old NT domain and it went well. Everything is stabilized - DNS works well, all the 2K servers pass dcdiag and netdiag OK. Now I am up to 3 W2K servers and 4 NT servers...

    Make a new primary DNS server

    Hi all, I will be soon demoting/retiring my first DC. I have read the FAQ on how to do this and am ready to go except am curious about what to do with DNS. My first DC is currently my primary DNS - I have a secondary DNS server as well. I wish to transfer my FMSO roles to a new server along...

    adding an alias

    I have just upgraded my PDC from NT to 2K - OK so far! Even added a second DC no prob. A few DNS problems, though. My domain is company.com, but my users can't get to www.company.com, although they can get to any other web site. So I read up and discover I need to add an alias (CNAME) in my...

    Upgrading NT domain to 2K this wkend - questions

    Thanks for your reply, John. I plan on doing an upgrade of the Compaq (my existing PDC), as this will update my existing domain to a new one with the same name and migrate all my SIDs, SAM, user account info, etc. directly. If I try to dcpromo the Dell into an existing NT domain then it will...

    Upgrading NT domain to 2K this wkend - questions

    OK, this is it. I am upgrading this weekend. I have made a new, clean NT PDC - let's call it the "Compaq" - (OK, I salvaged an old PC - P933/384M/4G C drive(3.3G free)/100BaseT NIC, etc. to do it), syncronized my domain - OK so far. I have a couple of BDC's and an EX5.5 server...

    Newbie - upgrading domain to W2K w/EX 5.5

    I know it's a newbie question but here goes: We are running an Ex5.5 box on an NT4 domain - 65 users total, a few different servers. I am planning on updating the domain to W2K, but leaving the Ex box as is, for the time being. Will get new Ex2000 server going eventually, but not now...

    NT domain update - keep netbios name?

    Thanks, claudek. What problems would I encounter with company.com? In fact (not that it probably matters), in my current DNS setup on my servers that's listed as the domain. What would you recommend instead - company.dom?

    NT domain update - keep netbios name?

    This might sound like a dumb question but I've been bitten before for not asking dumb questions. Right now I have 4 NT servers (PDC, BDC/File/print, SQL, and Exchange 5.5) serving up an NT domain (let's call it "company"). If I update my NT PDC and select "domain controller for...
