NT4 subnet connection to new 2K3 domain

[brentoski]

We have created a new Domain to replace the old NT4 domain (10.0.1.x). We would like to keep a NT4 server at our other office connected by frame relay (10.0.2.x) to provide dhcp and print services for this subnet. What do we need to do to this old NT4 BDC to make it work on our new network. Do we need to have DNS running on it? What other tips, tricks, or help do you suggest?

Thanks in advance for any answers.

NetBIOS and WINS are required in a mixed network

NetBIOS and WINS name resolution is required only on mixed-mode (Windows 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000 and XP) networks to provide backward-compatibility older versions of Windows. If you have a domain mixed-mode network with DHCP and DNS, you are better to cerate WINS in your system. In workgroup mixed-mode network, most people enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP to resolve NetBIOS name to equivalent to IP addresses. Alternatively, you can install NetBEUI protocol in the clients.
