Authorizing NT4 DHCP servers in AD child domain after upgrade/join to AD forest

I am having an issue authorizing NT4 PDC servers in a
newly upgraded AD child domain. Does anyone have any
insight into this?

We have only 2 AD controllers at one site in the new child
domain. The other NT4 PDC DHCP servers are serving remote
subnets. Attempts to authorize the NT 4 servers using the
AD DHCP snapin on the AD controllers are failing.

Jim,

I am sure that this is just a "language" thing, but there
can not be any PDCs in a WIN2000 AD Domain. I think that
you might be confusing this with the FSMO Role of PDC
Emulator ( which acts as the WINNT PDC for any WINNT 4
BDCs that you might have - naturally if this is a native
Mode AD Domain then there are no WINNT BDCs ).

You have to do this when logged in as the Enterprise
Administrator ( which, by default, would include
the "Administrator" account from the "Root" domain - aka,
the first AD Domain in the Forest ). You can not do this
when logged on as the administrator from the Child Domain
as this account is not part of the Enterprise
Administrators group.

HTH,

Cary

But you can't authorize NT4 DHCP server, as they have no knowledge od Active
Directory. See
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000...ingServers.htm
and the note at the end of the page.

Thank you, Matjaz!

Clearly you can not do that. His statement
about "authorizing NT4 PDC Servers in a newly upgraded AD
Child Domain" lead me to believe that his terminology was
a bit off. I should have included the part about not
being able to authorize NT4 DHCP Servers in an AD Domain.
