914World.com _ 914World Garage _ NPC- Can Win2K be BDC to NT4 PDC?

Posted by: BCinSC Jul 31 2003, 04:03 PM

Small network, single server. Is NT4 PDC. Have new machine that will
ultimately take it's place running Win2K. Have read Help files and
TechNet, but so much info is daunting. What's the fastest path?
Thanks,
Bruce

yepp, it can.

so, your keeping the NT4 PDC ???
and you want the new win2000 for backup?

i would do it vice versa wink.gif

or, if the NT box is good nuff (power wise) just upgrade to win2k.
i did that with 4 boxes here, went very smooth (yeah, i know, sounds like a fairy-tale) ...
wen't from NT4 Enterprise Edition to Win2000 Advanced Server ...

Keeping NT4 PDC for very short term - will be decommissioned (ancient, not upgradable) and BDC will be promoted and take over all duties. Can't get Win2K system to be BDC to NT4 PDC, due to Active Directory requirements. Suggestions?

Can I use a program like Copy Commander to image entire drive to new system, then upgrade it?
