Hi

We have a WK2 domain with 3 servers... We also have 2 Win2003 servers which
are not part of the Domain (stand alones..)...

Is there an easy way to join our 2 Win2003 servers into the existing W2K
Domain...?

If so, what steps should I take and are there any points to look out for...?

Col
 
Exactly the same steps as joining a workstation.

Thanks Dave

Are there no issues putting a WIN2003 server into a WK2 Domain...?

I had a feeling there would be problems..., does it just upgrade it all to a
WIN2003 Domain..., nice and simple....?

Issues come up if you are trying to install Exchange 2003 or upgrade it
to a DC w/DCPROMO. There are things that must be done to the domain
before you can do either. Other than that, there should be no problem....

You indicated these would be member servers. If they're now going to be DCs
then that's a different situation.
