Hi,

Hope someone here can help.

I am in the process of planning the upgrade to Windows 2K3 but I came across a problem. I have a NT4 domain, with a PDC on an NT4 server. Now I have a W2K3 member server, just a general server. Now what I want to do is add the nt4 domain group "Domain Users" to the W2K3 server so I can give them rights to a share but for some reason it won't take it even though, the W2K3 server is a part of the domain.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Stu

Can you see the group? when you browse the objects in the domain, ie when you click security - add and then try and browse.

What about something like authenticated users instead?

Cant think why off the top of my head, and as its a member server is not like you could be trying to do nested groups..

Hi David,

It looks like W2K3 had broken itself! I could see the domain etc etc and browse it, with domain admin credentials. Just it wouldn't let me add the group. So I removed it from the domain, ie put it into a workgroup, rebooted it, and brought it back into the domain and it all SEEMS to be working atm.

Thanks for the heads up though !

Good that you've fixed it, must admit my first thought was WINS!

Well if you belive MS then that shouldnt matter, but we all know thats utter bollox.. MS would have you check DNS.... NT4 DNS? Yeah right.
