Hi,

I have a new W2000AS which has been upgraded from WinNT4. It is the DC for
the organisation.

Also on the network are 4 W2003 servers, non of which are DCs (these are
application servers which I can't touch)

I need to install exchange on the 2000 box.

I get the above error, which has 6 entries in the KB.

I can't really understand these, so need some help.

I think it's to do with needing to seize the FSMO, but daren't press ahead
without some help.

Many thanks in advance if you can help me!

NEIL
