Two Questions

[Nikumba]

Brain isnt working today, so got two quick questions.

1. Can a Windows 2000 workstation that is not on the domain, be joined to a Windows 2003 domain with no issues?

2. If you have Backup Exec 10/11/12 with an Exchange agent, can it backup a Exchange 5.5 system?

Cheers

Thanks

Q1, yes it's exactly the same as adding a Win XP machine. Something in the back of my head tells me you need to have Win 2k S.P. 2.

Just bare in mind if you use any sort of roaming of mandatory profiles you might have issues and some GPOs need XP.

Basically i believe 5.5 support was dropped after v10 and yes Windows 2000 machines can be added to a Windows 2003 domain, Service Pack 4 recommended first though.
