Re: win2k - 2003k dc upgrade

per the KB http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?kbid=839879 get the
info but hold off on the resolution

basically I'm wondering about your rid master for starters, post the rid
feedback in here. I will be gone for a couple of hours but will check up on
it when I get back.
