OK, refrash my memory if you could, NT only recognizes up to 4 GB right.
This new DC that i want to bring up as a BDC, promote to PDC, and then
upgrade to 2003 willonly have a 4 GB boot drive. i would like to use the
entrire drive for the OS portion. can i do that on an upgrade?
To reply to your reply, are you saying that once i replicate the new PDC
with the other DC's, when i upgrade the scripts will be there, and it will
export the scripts to the new 2003 DC's using FRS, because it will be a
export server by default? thanks for your help, Vivien.
