Amanda,
Thank you for your help, We have had issues with all 4 domain controllers
with nic teaming, I have uninstalled it on all 4, but 2 of them it wasn't
clean, but thank you for your advice we will start with the PDC first and do
an upgrade vs a fresh install, I will leave the fresh install for the last to
be completed. My thought is to do one a week, since we have a large
enviorment, (28,000 users & 40,000 Wkstations) I don't want to stir up to
much activity.
Regards and Thank you for your help,
Bob Smith
