Is it possible to run Windows 2000 on workstations accessing an NT server? Are there any problems I should be aware of?

We have several Windows 2000 workstations with Windows NT 4 Server acting as the Domain Server. We have the server setup for DHCP and found that you need to add the workstation via the Network ID wizard rather than just accessing the properties information. Workstations added via the properties windows did not have the computer account created correctly.

I have been experimenting with a laptop running w2k for 6 months now. We are runing WinNT 4.0 SP-6a installed on our PDC and our BDC servers. We are run all clients with DHCP, WINS and DNS on the BDC server. The only thing I've seen that is wrongis puely cosmetic, when you mount/link drives, through a logon script, after about 30 minutes or so, you double click on My Computer an those drives will all have a red X on them. You can then double click on the drives and the X goes away, but only for 30 minutes or so. You can aways us the drive through programs, even if the red X is there. Go figure. I still don't know what is causing this little bug, but it has no real effect on the network or the data.

It works great. You need to join the exisiting NT Domain, so either have access rights to create the machine account or create one in advance. You loose the AD portion, but it still is a nice workstation.

How do I set up the communication between the windows 2000 professional and the NT server and create an account where the user can only view exactly what I want them to only? Sorry I am new at this and I am still learning.
