hi I am running a win 2003 domain and getting ready to migrate across to win 2008.
I have noticed something unusual and wanted to know if anyone can provide any advice.
step 1
usually I install win 2003 on the physical server and join as a member server to the domain. when I then open up the cmd prompt it shows the following path:
c:\documents and settings\administrator.domainname>
if I logon to this same member server (locally) and open the cmd prompt it shows the following as expected:
c:\documents and settings\administrator>
step 2
I have installed from a win 2003 cd the image onto my ris member server.
I then logged onto my (aduc) and pre-staged my isa 2006 firewall by adding the name: isa-20061a & the mac address successfully.
I then rebooted my other server and selected (f12) and installed win 2003 image successfully.
on completion of install I logged on as the domain administrator as it does not currently have a (local account) like (step 1) above as expected. I then opened up the cmd prompt:
c:\documents and settings\administrator>
I then created a new (local account) and opened up the command prompt and saw:
c:\documents and settings\administrator.isa-20061a>
question 1. why is (step 1 different from step 2) ?
