Hi Bob,
Sorry for the delay in replying. I've been away and just got back. Hopefully
you're still monitoring this thread.
Thank you for your ideas. Unfortunatey the NT domain I'm upgrading does not
have a WINS or DNS server. Historically its always depended on HOST and
LMHOST files (hence yet another reason for the migration and fresh start!).
That why I was hoping it may be possible to add the necessary entry in the
host files.
I could set up the necessary servers but would then have to set up all
client machines with the new WINS and DNS server entries. Is it possible to
change these with a logon script maybe to avoid visiting all machines? If so
I could just point them to the new DNS server in the new domain which does
overcome the problem.
Any other thoughts you have on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Curtis.
