I have a simple question for you and hope to find some good answers. We are converting a 250 node workgroup to a domain. The workgroup has been running a PDC (NT 4) but it literally acts as a Member Server (file sharing). We have purchased 2 Win2000 servers that will be setup as a DC and an Exchange server. The question: Should I leave the PDC in place and demote it to a BDC once I install the new 2000 DC? Or would I be better off demoting the PDC to a Member Sever before the conversion(obviously via re-install of NT)? All clients are running Win2k and NT 4. I would like to utilize AD, but fear possible probs with NT BDC. Any thoughts would be appreciated on this. Demote to Member Server or leave as a DC(BDC)? Obviously, I get out of some work by leaving as a DC(BDC). Any thoughts? Thanks!
