Hello Everyone,

Need help in configuring the following;
If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

We have an NT4 domain setup with Exchange 5.5 SP4
Everything is fine, everything works no problems.

New server is SBS2000, setup from scratch. Everything
seems to work. Only 10 peeps in the office with pst so no
problem I can re-create all the mailboxes. No need to
migrate. On the new server users will have no pst's.

We must keep the old server as it has a FileMaker server
and some accounting stuff.Therefore, how can I

1. move the old server (PDC) in the new domain?
From what I read, no trusts can be setup between old
and new domains.
2. log clients into new domain SBS and give them access
to old FileMaker app?


Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks

You can't move the NT4 to the new domain. You'll have to reinstall it.
Only other option is to reinstall the SBS, by first installing it as a NT4
BDC, then promote it to PDC, install W2K from the SBS-CD's, then run
SBS-setup. (in short)

Marina, Thanks for your reply.

If I demote the PDC to BDC and then join to SBS2K domain
will this work?

We're talking about 10 users. Why doesn't MS make this
easy for 10 users? SBS is good to up to 50 users. Why
then do they make it difficult? Anyway, someone must have
a workaround for this, Anyone???

Well actually MS does make this easy for 10 users...or 20 users or 50 users
or 75 users (with SBS 2003)

the real key is the proper research prior to jumping in.

You cannot join any NT DC to another domain without reinstalling it.

Is there not a version of Filemaker which will run on Win2k??

Sorry, you can't demote the PDC. So that won't work. (You can only promote
to PDC)
