Hi!! what happend whit my PDC an BDC´s when i install the first domain controler (WINDOWS 2000 SERVER)in my existent domain???
my users automatically are validated in my new DC??? PDC automatic is down to BDC??? help me please!!!
 
That is perfectly normal. Windows 2000 DC MUST take role of PDC (emulator)

Another tip is when you install a second DC to keep your BDC for emergency needs aside. Take it off the network and keep in a safe place, so you're always able to rollback.

PS Don't understand your question actually, you say "when I install my first 2000 server in my existing domain, and then validated in my new ???
 
thank you! i try to say what happend if i install a new Windows 2000 server in a existing domain (in a different server, that means in a new server, mi PDC and BDC´s exist but i what install in a new machine I DON´T WANT TO UPGRADE MY PDC)what must i do?
install active directory ?? but what happen whit my present PDC and BDC´s?

tankes a lot, sorry but my english in not good...

 
If you install a new 2000 server in an existing NT domain it will always become PDC emulator. (priority of OS)

Your old PDC will become a BDC.

Sorry but thats how M$ wants it to be...
