Our network is currently Windows NT 4.0 with Domain Controllers. We will be adding a Windows 2000 Server to be used as a Terminal Server. Are there any issues with Active Directory interacting with Domain Controllers? Any hints or tips to make this as painless as possible?

Just drop the 2K svr in as a member server. You don't want terminal access on a domain controller anyway, unless it is restricted to admin. When you use 2K svr as a member server, the active directory services are not loaded or used. AD requires 2K domain controllers. You are making the right move, by the way. I currently have two 2K terminal servers in a clients NT 4.0 net and they are working great. 2K's terminal server abilities are Microsofts best effort at terminal yet!

Good luck,

Ian
