w2k3 domain, can I add NT4 server as member?
Is it possible to add an NT4.0 server as a member server to my W2k3 domain? I'd like to upgrade/replace it some day, but don't have the money right now. If I could just add it as a stand-alone file server, that would make life a lot easier.
Yep, no problems. You will need SP6a, and it can't be a domain controller....
Actually if the forrest functionality level is in Windows 2000 mixed which is the default level then even NT4 boxes can be domain controllers, something that I think noone would like anyway
Quite correct, Joe. - both on the fact (that you can do it) and the opinion (I can't think of any reason, either)
Hulk - if you want it to be a BDC as well then read this... http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;242432
And I was wrong - it only requires SP4

The moment we have all the answers we would not need a site like this :-)

It's currently a PDC in a domain that I don't want anymore. It's just a little workgroup server with 5 users, so I'm not worried about preserving the NT domain. Do I need to delete the domain somehow, or just go to the Identification tab and change the domain to add it to the w2k3 domain?
Did you have the same name on the NT domain as on the new w2k3 domain?
