hi ...
I have just taken delivery of a brand new server(all singing and dancing) with Win 2000 on it.
I currently have a NT 4 Server for our school network, and want to move all my users(1200) and their files onto the new Server.
Can I ..... upgrade NT4 Server to Win2000 as the PDC and make the new server the BDC, then remove PDC and upgrade the BDC to PDC so making the new Server the PDC ....changing computer name so all the logon scripts work !!
Fairly new to all of this ...... a long story ... was the only one who caught the NT4 Server manual when it was thrown !!!!
Do I need any special software to do the 'backup' or will 2000 do it automatically ?
thanks in anticipation of your help ......
