Does anyone know how to add an NT4 workstation/member server to a W2K domain. Everytime I try to add the NT4 client it returns with 'unable to contact the domain controller for this domain'.

If I try to add the machine in server manager on the W2k domain it returns with 'The directory service was unable to allocate a reletive identifier'

Before you ask it is patched in and I can ping everything using server names and I can map to all drives from NT4 to W2K and W2K to NT4. I have WINS installed on the W2K domain aswell as DNS.

Can anyone help.

Paul

How many domain controllers do you have? How many sites? Is the PDC emulator on the same subnet?

Is the domain a mixed mode domain or an AD domain?
