Do WfW and Windows 95 require an NT4 BDC to authenticate with AD?
In my scenario I have a mixed mode domain with W2K3 and W2K domain
controllers. In addition I kept an NT4 BDC alive as the older clients
authenticate with it; it is about time though to decommission the
hardware, and I do not want to introduce another NT4 BDC.
From what I read in the groups I gathered that in a mixed mode domain
even the older clients can authenticate with a W2K domain controller. Is
that assumption correct?
Thank you :)
(please don't ask about the old clients ;) some of them are running GEM
Desktop on WfW 3.11, and there's no way around it. Fun! :)
