Domain controller Win2000 vs Win2003
LockedI have stepped into a situation where I am taking over a small network consisting of 2 servers and about 40 desktops. One server is running Win2000 server and the other is Win2003. We have 2 workgroups split between the 2 servers with about 10 systems on the 2003 and 30 on the 2000 server. Most of the 2003 desktops are running XP Pro but a couple are Win2k. The split on the 2000 server is about 50/50 on Win2k Pro and XP Pro. Both servers are under one domain. Management wants to put the 2000 server under a different domain with a domain controller installed. What kind of headaches am I asking for? What are the advantages/disadvantages between Win2k and 2003? Would it be better to put all under one server and use the other as a backup? Any thought would be appreciated.
