Hello,

we have a domain with two sites. On main site we have 2 Windows 2003 DCs,
DC1 and DC2. DC1 holds all FSMO roles.

Although we successfully installed additional Windows 2003 domain controller
(DC3) on another site, it seems that local Windows NT 4.0 machines are
authenticating only on DC1, which is on company's main site. DC1 holds a PDC
role, and unfortunatelly the role can't be transfered to DC3, since PDC
emulator role is used on main site for some kind of IP telephony.

Is it possible in any way to make those NT 4.0 machines authenticate on DC3,
without transfering a PDC role?

Thanks.
