RE: [ActiveDir] Upgrade BDC
It will not allow me to connect to the old domain as a member server because the old domain has an NT 4 PDC. So I am stuck with this server that will not allow me to do anything but run the AD wizard that will not allow me to add it as a member server or as a domain controller. My guess is the only options I have is to upgrade the other PDC to w2k and then add this old PDC and demote to a member with DCpromo, or blow it away and install W2K from scratch. Too bad I forgot to break the mirror before the upgrade. If I had done that then this would have been easy to fix. I think I will choose blow it away.

RE: [ActiveDir] a small problem.
Firstly check all the network settings (such as DNS etc.) if they are correct you could try this which worked for me when I had a similar problem: 1. Disjoin computer from domain (i.e. put it in workgroup) 2. Delete the computer account from the AD 3. Add the computer back into the domain. You will then need to copy over the documents and settings from the old account.

I have an NT 4.0 BDC that I want to upgrade to Windows 2000 and have as a member server in another W2K AD domain. I took the server off line and upgraded to W2K. I am now presented with the option to join as a member server or a domain controller. When I answer the questions it then tries to communicate with the NT 4.0 PDC and then errors out. Is there not a way to upgrade an old NT4 BDC and bring it back on-line to join another domain as a member server?

AW: [ActiveDir] a small problem.
In my experience a pc that shows this behaviour has a mapping to a network drive that doesn't exist anymore. Sometimes a defect CD-Rom shows similar behaviour. The box tries to access it but without success. After a while it gives it up and then shows the available network drives. mike -Ursprungliche Nachricht- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Im Auftrag von [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 14.
