Workstation in AD

[New User]

Hello:

After the AD in-place upgrade, does the workstation (NT, Win2K & XP)
need to rejoin the AD again? It was because the domain name still show
the old NT4 Domain name but the new joiner has change the AD name.

Thanks!

If it was an upgrade, there's no need to change the workstations. They are
already joined. An upgraded domain's SIDs and other data remains the same.

What do you mean by:

" [...] but the new joiner has change the AD name."??

You said it still shows the same name, so what does the above mean? Are you
referring to the new AD DNS domain name?

Hello:

Thanks a lot for your reply. For the WinXP, it change to Active
Directory Domain Name after first logon. For the NT4WS, it haven't
change the domain name because of NT is not fully identify of AD.

After first logon, the Win2K & XP has change from NT4 Domain name to
AD name. How can I fall back in case of any problem?

Thanks!

I'm not sure of what 'domain name; you speak of. If the domain was upgraded,
the NetBIOS domain name is the SAME.

Where are you seeing this domain name change? What part of the operating
system? Are you talking about the DNS domain name (not the NetBIOS name)?
Please give specific and unedited examples using your real domain name and
where you are looking to find this info or where you are seeing it.
