Have a small voluntary organisation who we do odd little bits of support for. Been let down pretty badly by their 'official' support company, who basically have just told them they they have enough business not to have to worry abot little charities any longer so they can bugger off...
There are a couple of immediate issues the organisation needs to address, and for some odd reason, I've allowed myself to be 'volunteered' into helping them...
They currently have a Windows NT4 server whith three patritions on one drive as:
Build (C:) System (D:) Data (E:)
they have 'shared profiles' - so any of the advisors can login via any machine and get their own desktop, notes etc. There are individual and group folders on the data drive/partition.
They run a local DNS on the same box, that's about all.
They have been given a new server with licensed Windows 2000 Advanced Server and need it to take over from the old - not long for this life, NT4 box.
I have no real idea where to start, so can anyone who knows about Doze domains and Active Directory type stuff - please give me a quick run down of the various terms and relationships? Also, some key into migrating the stuff and services on the NT4 box to the Win2KAS box?
I've got myself a little confused with the domain controller stuff and promoting one to 'tother etc...
I did suggest they move to a *nix solution, but the blank stares made me feel better to stick with what they sort of know...
