Hello togehter!

I want to set up an Windows NT4 Srv as BDC for an NT4 Domain provided by
a samba server.
(How) Is it possible to set up an Windows BDC without crating an
computer account in the target domain automatically? I have to create
the computer account manually and the Server should use is one.

Thanks for an idea!

Björn

You have to join the domain during install and it has to be able to talk to
the PDC of the domain. Sounds like there is no PDC though? I don't think
there is any way around that. Can't it just be a regular server? Maybe if we
knew the reason for doing this we could come up with some other ideas?!
