Our company has a single domain (DOMAIN1) with a W2K PDC (PDC1).

I have a demo laptop (PDC2) which has been setup as a W2K PDC for its own domain (DOMAIN2).

Before I connect this demo laptop to our network, what do I need to do? I just want the ability to copy data from/to PCs on our company domain (DOMAIN1) to/from the laptop (PDC2 on DOMAIN2). I don't want the PDCs to interfer with one another and replicate user accounts etc...

Thanks for your advise

You can have two (or more) domains on one network.
Just make sure that the ip addresses/names don't conflict.
To copy data you can logon to remote shares using the correct credentials or you can also establisch a trust between the two domains and assign correct userrights to the shares.

good luck

By the way: In W2k there are only DCs. The old PDC/BDC roles are gone.
