Does anybody have any experience with the NDTSUTIL-command precreate? I've found next to no information about it. Supposedly it should =3D precreate a sub-domain in the forrest so that someone other than an enterprise admin = =3D can join the domain to the forrest. It doesn't seem to suffice with just precreate though (Sorin can tell = =3D you, he was at the other end of a "practial" experiment). Here at the =3D University the campus covers a lot of ground and is scattered about our town, so eliminating the need for Enterprise Admin presence would speed domain joining quite a bit. (Let's not get into why so many domains it's such a bother. Let's just leave it at "politics", "territorial" and "Microsoft licensing model". ;-) ) When trying to join the domain that was precreated, replication fails = =3D with a cryptic message like "busy" or some other. (I can't remember the exact message. Sorin, can you?) But I'm not yet convinced this is related. But it's a bit more of a coincidence than I'm comfortable with. Any help is appreciated. /Dan =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D To Unsubscribe, set digest or vacation mode or view archives use the below link. http://thethin.net/win2000list.cfm ================================== To Unsubscribe, set digest or vacation mode or view archives use the below link. http://thethin.net/win2000list.cfm
