| Ken,
|
| Thanks for your references. It appears they too tackle the subject from
| the perspective of moving from an NT domain to a new win2k domain. In
this
| situation, the win2k domain has been in place for years and the AD is
already
| populated with the users, groups, and computers. Can you advise further
on
| what settings must be moved in this case to retire the NT domain? My
| thinking is it is only the client profiles. If so, can you further
advise on
| your recommendation for this task?
|
| Thanks again,
|
| Diane
