do i need to make 2003 a special server? both 2000, 2003 are eval editions.
does that matter? Goes thru the steps of trying to load AD (2003) but says
cant find or domain does not exist. i have looked in the KB but to no luck.
not a big deal, but like to know if it is possible...
 
AD requires DNS.

Set up DNS on the 2000 DC.

When installing the Win 2k3 server point it to the Win 2k DNS server for
DNS.
