Re: Re-connecting existing clients to a new server

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

You need to boot it at lease one time when you join the domain. If you have correct name resolution and TCP/IP setup, you should be OK.

I'm replacing my 2003 sbs server with a newly built server, again with 2003
SBS installed. My existing client pc's will remain the same, and will
obviously have to re-join the new server.
The question:
Regarding the client side, will I have to join the existing client pc's to
the new server by booting up the Pc's in to the 'local machine', and go
through the process of "Connect to Server" again?

Can I expect any problems when the client PC's re-connect to the new server?

Any help\guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks
