Single NT Stand Alone on AD 2003 Native Mode

[ekwstats]

I have 1 NT Server that can't be upgraded because of software loaded on it that requires NT, but I want to upgrade the AD to 2003 Native. We are running in AD 2000 Mixed Mode right now.

Is there any way to do this and keep this one NT server online and using the current domain security?

Thanks

yes, this NT is member server, huh? so, it doesn't matter which AD funcation level you are.

mix or native or 2003 funcation level is referring to DC only.

I am by no means a AD whiz, but I was under the impression that the NT machines would have problems authenticating to a native AD domain, which is why if there were any NT machines left on the network there needed to be at least one NT DC and the AD had to be mixed mode. I saw that there is an NT AD client plugin for AD 2000, but I have not seen anything for 2003.
Thanks

no worry, u are covered, the rason some legacy nt 9x client can't logon to 2k3 domain, it's because some secuity restrict, like smb signing.....
