Question : Defining a Domain Name for a PreWindows 2000 Domain

EE Network Administrator Experts:

I am a programmer -- not a Network Administrator. I know more than enough about Network Administration to be dangerous but not by a whole lot. I basicly know what I need to know to make my applications work.

In my development and testing environment I have a Windows Server 2003 machine. It has Active Directory running on it. When I use the "Active Directory Domain and Trusts" program I have a domain name of "law.subrogate.net". If I right click it and select properties I get a window with a title bar of "law.subrogate.net Properties" under the domain icon I get a Read Only text box titled "Domain Name (preWindows 2000):" with a value of SUBROGATE01. I created that over a year ago and I can't remember where I assigned that value. I have looked all over the place and I have not been able to find it.

Can somebody tell me where that value gets set. I am getting ready to go live at this attorney's office this coming Friday with a new Case Management System I created and to the extent I can, I want to make his environment look like mine. He has Microsoft Small Business Server. I was there when the Network guys installed it and from what they were saying it is built on Windows Server 2003. I need to create a Share on his Network Server that I can map a drive letter to from each of his workstations -- he has 3 workstations -- My program will be hard coded (I am going to add a configuration editor to replace the hard coding) to retrieve and save a lot of files to/from that mapped drive letter. I want him to see the Domain Name in My Network Places that I want him to see.

I know the Administrator's password on his Network Server.

Thank you

Answer : Defining a Domain Name for a PreWindows 2000 Domain

Sorry about the confusion.
I've gotten with another A/D engineer and agree that PreWindows 2000 domain is chosen during the dcpromo process of the installation of Active Directory.  This is something that can't be changed without trashing active directory and reinstalling it.
