Happy Holidays everybody.

I have two NT4 servers. I upgraded my PDC to 2000. Now I am facing Active Directory Installation Wizard. I tried to have my 2000 machine to joint the domain and I received this error: ?The domain ? mydomain.com? is not an Active Directory domain, or an Active Directory domain controller for the domain could not be contacted.?
I don?t want to lose my old network settings. Do you know the best way to finish this process? I need to know how to set the active directory after the upgrade.
Thank you for your time and help.
Regards

Now, during the upgrade on the PDC from NT4 to 2000, it should have prompted you to make the PDC a DC. If not, then things could get interesting.
I take it you have a NT4 BDC still, just in case? I hope so.
On the old PDC, run DCPROMO, the Active Directory install program.
