Domain/Tree Question

| We have 2 domains that are currently active in our company. One domain is running NT 4, the other W2K. The NT 4 domain is our main domain. The W2K domain is a test domain used by developers. The test domain is currently using the DNS name we wish to use for the root of our main NT 4 domain when we upgrade to W2K. We've decided to rebuild the W2K test domain so we can release the DNS name to be used by our NT 4 domain when we upgrade it.
We would like to rebuild the current W2K test domain to be a leaf of the current domain's tree when the current NT 4 domain is upgraded to W2K. We will be rebuilding the test domain before upgrading the current NT domain to W2K. How do we build the test domain in such a way that it is a leaf of our main domain which does not yet exist. Also, I will need to be able to see resources in both the NT 4 domain and the new test domain leaf before the current NT domain has been upgraded.
If you need any clarification of further details, please let me know.
Thank you very much for your help. | |

I think the best way here would be to uograde the NT domain first and introduce your test domain after.
You can't introduce a server to a domain that does not exist yet.
Another way would be to have the two servers running in mixed mode then change to native after the NT upgrade to 2000.
I hope that this might help you on your way to a solution.

| You can't. As posted earlier, you can't join a tree if there isn't already a root domain. You can't create a child domain without having a root domain. Makes sense? |
