    Can ping PDC by name, but BDC won't connect etc (??!!)

    Thanks for the latest advice. All is now well. I don't know the cause, but I did get someone to use Server Manager on the PDC to manually disconnect the BDC, which was shown with a (persumably redndant) connection. After waiting overnight, the BDC connected normally and all has been well...

    Win 2k Server without AD OK as member of NT 4 domain?

    Hi Marius, Can you say how to deactivate dynamic DNS on Win2k? Earlier I tried to stop DNS, but it insisted on at least pointing to itself (127.0.0.1) as DNS server. Thanks -------------------------- David Hills R H Partnership Architects Cambridge UK --------------------------

    Win 2k Server without AD OK as member of NT 4 domain?

    Another thread asks about using Win2k Server with AD in an NT 4 domain. I don't need AD yet and just want to use an existing Win2k Server as a file server in an NT environment. (I want to avoid having to blank the machine and install NT4.) AD is not running (machine currently in default...
