Yep, Distributed Systems guide from Win2k Resource Kit says the same for the
PDC emulator Role.
Do you all use the securedc.inf Security template on your Domain Controllers
to lock them down at first build?

Correct. You could even build-out the new server as a BDC, promote it
to a PDC, then upgrade the new server to Windows 2000.

You can definitely move the PDC emulator role between your W2K DCs while
in mixed mode. For all other legacy clients or NT BDCs it will apper as
changing the PDC role over to a new box. All it is from the legacy
clients/NT BDCs point of view is changing NetBIOS suffixes (see MS
Q163409 the <domain> part of it).
PDC has <domain> 1B and <domain> 1D suffixes on top of other (00, 1C,
1E)
Use nbtstat -a <computername> to check the suffixes
Hope this helps

To the list,
I know this might be a little off topic, but wanted to see what those
who already have an AD network would recommend.
I knwo the FSMO Roles can be delegated to other DC's in the domain, by
using active Directory Domain and Trust MMC shanp-in. But when you do a
in-PLACE upgrade from an NT 4.0 PDC to Win2k DC, which will be in mixed
mode. Can you transfer the PDC Emulator role, or does that server need
to stay as the PDC emulator until you go to Native Mode?
Any suggesstions, looking to replace existing PDC, with new PDC that has
a RAID controller, and possibly a 7.8GB parititon ( If I can get the
Compaq SSD to build it that way), so that when I upgrade to Win2k, and
the processing of the SAM_ file to NTDS.DIT doesn't run the hard-drive
out of space.
TIA
Ed
