Re: Strange Question - NT4 is Primary DC in AD

Not sure what you are doing but there is no way to have a NT 4.0 PDC and an
AD DC in the same domain.

Hello:

My College has shutdown all the AD DC and choose one of the NT4 promote
to Primary. Now the PDC is on NT4 (View from SVRMGR). From the AD, the PDC
Emulator was on Win2K3.

Any hints how can I solve?

Thanks!
