Hi all,
i know that I can't install Active Directory on a W2K Professional.
But anyone of you know if I can install a different domain controller
on this type of machine?
thanks a lot

What precisely do you mean?

You cannot have a DC of anytype on the non-Server product
but you can install an additional copy of Server on any
machine (e.g., dual boot) whose hardware supports the OS.

Any Win2000+ Server can become a DC through DCPromo.

No Workstation (Pro/XP) OS can ever be a DC within that
OS (as opposed to dual booting a copy of Server OS.)
