Situation: I am feverishly researching the possiblity of introducing a Windows Server 2003 (Ent. Edition) into my NT 4.0 domain and at this time just adding the 2003 server into the domain and not making it a BDC/PDC etc. “member server”.
I have way to many legacy systems running on these NT 4.0 servers at this time and I don’t want to change anthing. I only have to make it through this next year like this and then in Jan 06 we will be upgrading our MRP/ERP which runs on 2003 server. Then I will embrace the Active Directory, etc. with wide open arms.
Question: Any problems with just joining this server into the Domain? It will be running SQL Server 2000 on it for a CRM software package called ACT! 2005. it will also be doing some file sharing.
Thanks!
