Upgrading is not an option in this case. Politically its not allowed and technically its not that feasible either (there is an issue with the number of Exchange 5.5 environments that are going to be migrated into the new forest and how this is planned to be done).

This would allow you to keep the netbios name at least for your network. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Carerros, Charles Sent: Tuesday, November 02, 2004 11:58 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Windows 95\98 on Windows 2003 domain We are doing a migration from an NT domain into child domain of new AD forest so we cannot keep the same netbios name. We also have a slight problem with our naming convention in that all of our DCs are going to have nine character names. Thanks, chuck -----Original Message----- From: Salandra, Justin A.

Also, MS seems to have dropped the link to Q article 323466 which is supposed to have an updated DS client. If someone has already created some documentation on this process, it would be extremely helpful.
