BF2S Forums Network Manager to Acitve Directory

I'm not sure what you mean by "getting Network Manager to Active Directory".  I presume you mean that you want the machine to remain a domain controller at the end of this exercise?  The approved method to introduce Windows 200x domain controllers is to first upgrade the Primary Domain Controller (PDC) of your network to Windows 200x.  I recommend you have a read of http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2 … toad.mspx.  It describes in detail the requirements for such a migration and some of the choices and considerations you will need to make in order to ensure a successful upgrade.

Once you have successfully upgraded your domain controller(s) to Windows 200x, you will be using Active Directory.  This means that the tools and concepts you've used in your NTLM environment are no longer relevant.  You will need to become accustomed to the use of the Active Directory Users and Computers console in place of the old User Manager application.  Learn DNS and learn it well.  If DNS is broken, so will AD be.

I suggest you read that document as a starting point.  You should also endeavour to get a hold of the Windows 2003 Resource Kit and Deployment Kit documents which are available on Microsoft's Technet site.

Cheers,
Max.
