I am trying to set up a small network in my house to practice using server 2000. I am starting from scratch so i am not upgrading my domain. I have one computer with 2000 server on it in a workgroup. This is the first computer how do i make this the PDC and create the domain. I cant upgrade the server from the workgroup because there is no domain to locate. What can i do to make this computer the first server in the network i want to create???? please help....

Of course the PDC must be an Active Directory server. You goto start/run and type dcpromo. This utility will take you through the process. I have this very setup at my own home and have added and removed active directory several times. Please note that your computer must be plugged into a hub for Active directory to install!!!

Good Luck.
