Hi I managed to migrate the 2000 Dc to 2008 Foundation Dc. Is it possible to have 2 Dc's in a domain, the w2k as a backup Dc? Will there be problems in future? Advice appreciated. Many thanks in advance Richard

Hello, there is no problem to have them into one domain. PLease keep in mind that Windows Foundation server is limited to 15 user accounts only, if more are used errors will be shown.Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.

Hello, it is recommended to have at least two DC/DNS/GC servers per domain for high-availability of the AD and DNS service and so that you minimize the risks to lose your domain. Personally, I never worked with Microsoft Windows 2008 Foundation but have a look to this Microsoft article for more information: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd459190(WS.10).aspx This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.
