Re: Nt4 Auth w/2000 Native mode?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



After reading my late night response and your response, I agree that I cannot
have a native and mixed mode domain, given that fact I was incorrect in
stating there are 2 servers in the domain one of native mode and one in mixed
mode.

After resinspecting my configuration to refresh my memory, there are 2
domains at the office in which we store the data. Both domains are behind
the same external factors (same T1, router, etc), running the same version of
the software and windows server 2000. One domain is native and one is mixed
mode. I apologize for the confusion as I stated the problem incorrectly.

The backup software can initiate its remote backup procedure to the mixed
mode domain in our office, but not to the native mode domain in our office.
Thanks again for trying to help.
