I have a client that decided to migrate their NT4 domain to 2003 before
calling me, and now they have several problems.
The old NT4 domain was mydomainNT, PDC/BDC.
The DSN server is a linux box.
The DHCP server is a Linux box.
They started by upgrading, in place, from NT4 to 2003 on the PDC, and
created a domain of mycompany.mydomainNT.com. They are unsure about the
rest of the steps - figures.
They are having all sorts of problems with slow shares, etc... I expect
this since DNS is running on another box, not part of the domain, and
even DHCP is not configured with the proper scope options.
Since they have a 2003 domain, even if it's the wrong name, and all the
users accounts, can we do the following - rename the domain on the 2003
server to be mydomain.lan, without loosing any accounts, then setup DNS
and DHCP on the 2003, abandon the old DNS/DHCP linux boxes, and then
connect the XP Prof systems to the 2003 and expect them to come up with
the users profiles?
