Our server went down due to hardware failure, we switched from Windows NT 4.0 to Windows 2000 Server. In the process of switching two things did occur.

First. We've already got a "Primary Domain Controller" but, if we were to change this new server to a "Secondary Domain Controller" would tha be neccessary? Or should we add this server to it's own domain? In addition to that, we wanted to take the "L: Drive" off of our new server and share it- Which would be the most simple way to do that? So everyone has access, we are trying to avoid "recreating" numerous amounts for people to login, basically just want them to log onto windows and a "Batch-DOS Prompt" loads giving them the drive. We won't have to authiniticate the drive.

Second. Now that the server has switched over all of our "Savin Laser Scanners" won't refresh correctly. If the server is shut down the Savin's have to be as well, so that the list will populate on them again. Not sure why it is forcing us to do that, it's supposed to have an automated refresh. That's why were guessing it started with the "Server" because it happened when we changed Operating Systems.

Also, I do know that "Windows 2000 Server" gives you the option of using a "Wizard" which will actually setup as a "Secondary Domain Controller". Another question, what exactly does the operation of the "Secondary Domain Controller" entail?

Any help would be appreciated.
