Hello, We are in the planning stages of our W2K migration. We have 3 main data centers located in New England, the midwest and out west. All three are connected via 20mb ATM links. We have decided on the "restructure" migration approach. We're going to create a new forest root...

Hello, I've been administering W2K/Active Directory since the beta versions. Have migrated NT 4.0 infrastructures to W2K and E2K multiple times, multiple sizes. I just started a new company which is quite large and they would like me to not only drive the project from a technical standpoint...

I was just wondering if someone could give me a definite date as to when Microsoft will end support for NT Server 4.0 platforms? Thanks

Thanks chief. I'm going to gather my team and do some testing.

I read an article written by Tony Redmond that it doesn't work in 5.5? Are you saying that has been fixed in E2K? Could you provide a URL with a reference that it does work on both platform so I can show my boss? Thanks

Can someone tell me if it is possible to set up Message Journaling on Public Folders? Meaning if a PF is mail enabled with an SMTP address, each time a piece of mail is received within the PF, can it be journaled? Or, is it simply available for mailboxes within the IS ? Thanks

I'm presently at a client site which is looking to possibly use Message Journaling with their customers. Essentially, they will assist they customer in configuring message journaling on their 5.5 Servers and E2K servers so that all mail is sent to a custom recipient which is an smtp address...

OK, So I just joined a new company and they have been adamant that they don't care about the negatives when you don't implement a mailbox quota limit. Simply comes down to politics and the people above. I need to work with a few people to put together thorough documentation/justification to...

Hello, Could someone tell me a list of requirements that need to be met in order to take a backup tape of an Exchange 5.5 Server from a customer of ours and restore that to a test environment at our facility? Thanks

We have an NT4.0 platform. A couple of weeks ago our network department built 2 new W2K servers and configured DHCP on them. They are presently giving out leases on our network. My question is, when we migrate the platform to W2K/AD in a short period of time, what do we have to do regarding...

Client running NT4.0 platform planning W2K migration. They just rolled out new DNS platform. 4 servers running BIND 9.2.1 I doubt there will be any interest in W2K DNS. With that being said, what advantages do I lost if they stick to internal DNS running BIND versus W2K? If I were to be...

Hello, Was wondering if anyone had any templates of resources I could use for the following task: I just arrived at a client and will be taking part in an NT4.0 to W2K migration. I would like to thoroughly document the present NT4.0 domain infrastructure. Any good doc's out there such as...

Hello, I need to put together a presentation detailing the business benefits of migrating from NT4.0 to W2K Active Directory. Can anyone point me to some good articles? Thanks

Here is my situation: Work at a company in which we provide email archiving services. Pipes are set up between the client and my network. Every piece of email is archived through the pipe to our network and stored for 7 years. I've run into an issue working with a new client. Essentially...

Zoeythecat is almost 100% correct. There is no way you can upgrade the NT 4.0 PDC to W2K without leaving it as domain controller. Regarding switching to native mode from mixed mode, you do not have to wait until your NT4 members servers are upgraded. You simply have to upgrade all your NT4...
