Re: Regarding Cluster server doubt.

 

Once you wipe your 2000 domain controller you will loose all accounts

even when you recreate them with the same names, it will not work.

 

What you should have is 2 DC's, then upgrade one by one, maintaining your

AD/Domain at all times.

 

as this is more a Server question, I am X-posting into

microsoft.public.windows.server.general
