I have an AD native domain with 4 DCs. I have recently purchased a new server to replace one of the 2000 DC. During the AD install on the 2003 server I get the message that my 9x/NT clients will not be able to authenticate to this server. The server was scheduled to be installed in a site...

Thanks for the quick reply. I've not ran into problems in my test lab yet and will be trying the install again next week with keeping the newer files. I don't have Veritas running in my test lab. The files were locted in the system root though. I too thought it was strange I got that message...
