Hey guys,

Noticed something a little weird (but maybe not so weird, given a certain setting, to be mentioned later):

Migrated to Active Directory and everything seems to be working great. I've got two DC's in the domain/forest (each on a different subnet). I've got a Windows 2000 client that I ran "set l" to find out what logon server it's logged in to, and it's pointing to an NT 4.0 BDC (we're in AD mixed mode). I found that to be strange since I thought W2K machines will go out and seek a W2K DC... now here's the catch: Could I be having this "issue" because the Preferred DNS server pointer on the client is pointed to our old NT 4.0 DNS server, vs. the DNS server on our AD root/DNS server? I think that's probably the cause, but wanted to confirm that...

You are correct. Change your IP config to point to the DNS on the Win2k server.
