RE: Active Directory on Advanced Server or Server ?
Title: RE: Active Directory on Advanced Server or Server ? I see...ok, that makes sense. Thanks for your help.

The upgrade path is NT4 Ent is to W2K AS. Only thing would be to install a NT 4 Server as a BDC and then promote it to PDC and upgrade it to 2000 Server. Then do clean installs on the NT4 Ent servers with 2000 Server. Eric Wittenberg, MCSE CNA ASE Technical Systems Analyst 3D Computer Services Ltd.

Ok guys...quick question. I have an NT4 domain model and will migrate to W2K Active Directory later this quarter. Does anyone have any comments or issues with the particular version of W2K Server to run AD on? My first impression is to migrate from NT4 Enterprise to W2K Server. I dont see the need to use Advanced Server as I will have multiple DCs with fault tolerant hardware (hence no need for clustering or NLB) on these machines. The DCs will not have more than 2GBs of ram. Total number of users will be about 500. For these DCs, I rather save the extra money charged for Advanced Server and put it towards the hardware or infrastructure. Thoughts? Am I missing something?
