Hi, we are in the beginning stages of migrating our network from NT4 to W2K, with the end result of W2K native mode w/ AD. We are setting up a test network, however, we would like to get some comments / advice from those who have already went through this migration. Some issues include:
Five NT4 BDCs are located at remote locations and are used as print servers / authentication for each location. When the new stand alone W2K server is replaced with the current NT BDC, is authentication across the WAN the same as long as all the TCP/IP settings the same as NT, or do we have to do anything else to the W2K server (keep in mind we are still running in a mixed domain with NT PDC at the main location).
When moving files from our NT4 standalone File Server to the new W2K Server, would permissions be retained? (I wasn’t sure of moving files from NT server to W2K server)
We appreciate any comments / advice
Thanks,
Dan
