Hi all,

I have two servers, one a 2003 running active directory in mixed 2000
mode, the second a Win2k running in workgroup mode. They have come
over from another company, and I want to rename the domain on the
2003. I see there is a rename tool, and have gone through the docs on
that, but in order to do a rename I must switch to 2003 mode on the
directory.

My question is if I switch to 2003 forest functionality, can I bring
the 2000 server into the directory as long as I don't use it as backup
or primary domain controller? Also when I do, I am guessing there is
no way to bring those workgroup based security setups into the domain,
is that right?

Thanks for any help.

Best regards,
Brian Blakistone
