Will Nt domain work on 2003 server?

[dfgu]

Right now I still run on NT 4 servers. 2 of the servers run our domain. I plan to upgrade one server first (exchange server) to windows 2003. But will the other server (nt4) will run? Can you run the same domain on NT4 and 2003 with no problems?

THanks.

yes...this is called mixed mode.

Mixed mode refers to domain controller functionality. If the server you want to upgrade is just a member server, the domain mode is irrelevant. It will work fine.

If the server you want to upgrade is an NT domain controller, you should be aware that the first domain controller that you upgrade HAS to be the PDC.

I have 2 PDC's... both running on NT4. I'm upgrading one server to 2003 server. Will the NT4 PDC be able to run if another server is running 2003?

Thanks..
