Something that is confusing me...

| prezbedard and I were discussing this and we couldn't come to a definate answer..
Is it true that when a member server or a computer running running windows 2000 pro joins a domain, Windows 2000 adds the Domain users group to the local users group? That is what my book says but there was a diagreement.
Also, can a Windows 2000 PRO machine ever be considered a member server? A member server shares resources but doesn't store AD information and a pro machine can do that. Just wondering. | |

| The definition of member server is reserved for Windows 2000 Servers that are not Domain Controllers. A Windows 2000 Professional machine that shares resources within a domain is considered a server by it's role but Microsoft would not call it a member server. | |

| Interesting one - had to look it up (hey, it's Friday...)
"When a Windows 2000 Professional or Server computer joins a domain, the same domain groups are added to the computer that were added to a Windows NT 4.0 computer. Domain Administrators are added to the local Administrators group and Domain Users are added to the local Users group"

As for the 2K Pro being considered a member server - no, since you can only have 10 concurrent connections to it. | |

| Tharg is absolutely correct. When I am joining W2k machines to my network I have to remove the Domain admins from the local admins group. (This is because my network is part of a continental domain with certain admin groups set up for each physical location within the domain) |
