Here's my scenario.
I have about 7 seven sites that all point to a core location via a fram relay. At the core site I have an NT 4.0 pdc, a WINS server(also a BDC), two citrix servers running WIN2k, and a few other win2k member servers that are a combination of file servers and some run a few in- house applications. All of the remote sites have NT 4.0 bdc servers at their locations. I want to install a WIN2K server with AD at the core location. My proposed solution is:
1.Build a server with NT 4.0 on it as a BDC with all Patches and updates.
Thanks in advance
Kahmelion
2.Promote this new BDC and demote the old PDC so that they will change roles on the current network.
3.Install Win2k on the new PDC and run dc promo.
Now our ISP just gives us an IP address to use for our DNS server. I know that AD is very DNS orientated, so My main question is: first Am I doing the upgrade correctly? and second How would I go about configuring DNS for the domain.
