my 2000 server died and i built a new 2003 server with the old servers
computer name and ip address, install dns, wins, and dhcp all fine
i have all the AD user id's and passwords set up in the AD
i have 35 users that use to login to the old 2000 domain (mixed xp
pro and windows 2000 machines)


You've created a comletly new domain even though you used the same
configuration settings. Unless you have another domain controller or a
recent complete backup, you'll have to join the rest of the workstations to
the new domain. Worse, you'll have to fix up the user profiles as they will
get a brand new one when the logon to the new domain for the first time.

Backups are really important, especially for smaller sites.



i can login sometimes as administrator and other times i get errors
or can't login at all

is there something on the workstations that identifiy them to the old
server and NOT to the new server

hope there is a simple fix for this

ps. i unjoined my xp workstation from the domain and then rejoined the
domain and then i could log on everytime without a problem

but i don't want to do that with 35 machines as it would be time
consuming and also setup a new profile for all machines
i just want to have the users login as they did before as the new 2003
server is configured that same as the old 2000 server, file paths,
printers, etc

thanks in advance
