Re: Nt4 Auth w/2000 Native mode?



Okay lets try to clear this up..

Novanet is a remote backup software package that has a server client
relationship. All of the clients sit on external domain controllers in other
business so they are all different domains that we are working with.

We have the server software setup for testing on 3 different places. There
are 2 servers in 1 domain, 1 configured in native mode and one configured in
mixed mode both windows 2000. We will call this Domain A. There is an
external home office backup server that is windows 2000 on a different domain
in mixed mode called Domain B. All of the clients are on Domains C,D,E etc.

The NT4 PDC on Domain C can backup successfully with the same username and
password to Domain B (mixed mode seperate domain) and to the mixed mode
server in Domain A(same one the native mode domain is on) but has
authentication failures to the native mode server in Domain A(Clean install
of windows 2000 just service packs etc, no advanced security has been set up).

This is the problem I am having. It can authenticate to other servers in
mixed mode but not to the one in native mode, and I wanted to know if there
is anything that stops a NT4 PDC from authneticating with a windows 2000
Domain in native mode, and if so, what options are there to change so that I
do not have to reinstall windows again. Thank you.
