We presently have a complete NT 4.0 infrastucture of approximately 20 NT 4.0 servers across our wide area network. It is a multi master domain of NT with many trust replationships in place and working well. Financially we cannot move to a 2000 domain until next year. PDC's/BDC's must remain NT 4.0 at this time. We have an instance that a business office server must be win 2000. From what I am reading this PDC will tunnel and take over other NT 4.0 PDC's because of active directory and kerbos, it becomes the master. Can I still add this server, as a member server, and let the NT 4.0 account manager, polices, etc be administrated through the NT 4.0 PDC? I have printed all the literature I can get my hands on about migrating etc; however everyone is is putting 2000 PDC's on, but doesn't speak to keeping PDC;s/bdc's NT 4.0. What is the best solution, given I cannot give up at this time the PDC's as NT 4.0? Time is of the essence, please respond as soon as possible. THank you!!!!!!!

You can add a win2k serverto your NT network the same way you would normally add an NT server. As long as you do not install active directory, your win2k serv should behave the same way.
Good luck!
