Hey all! here is another case where this list can proof that it rocks ;-) this is given: Windows 2000 Domain 2 x DC on one of the DC´s Ex2k is installed how i would do it: install a new server (2003 standard) as a dotnet-member server in our domain upgrade the 2 2k DC´s > Win2003 Server (standard) question 1: the DC with Ex2k installed....could there be any problem with Ex2k? will it work after the update properly? any experiences? question 2: after i installed a 2003 server as a member server in our 2k-domain, what will happen? will we have all the features from the 2003-ads in our domain? or only when we administrate it from the 2003 DC ? will this member server do anything with our 2 2K DC´s? TIA!!!
