Installing on to Existing Windows 2000 Server Network

[Chris]

I installed a Windows Server 2003 box on to an existing Windows 2000 server
based network. I added it to the domain and set it up strictly as a file
server. I then started to work on shares but ran into a problem. When I
attempted to use the groups on the existing active directory they weren't
there. For instance, when I would share something I would attempt to add a
group on the existing domain but the group was not found. When I clicked on
the "Location" button it only presented me with the local computer/server as
a location and not the entire directory.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like it's not added to the domain. What are the steps you took to add
it to the domain>

Thanks for responding Danny.

I added it to the domain via system properties as I have with all the
clients. When I view the System Properties it says it is on the domain.

I also login to the domain admin via the computer and I am able to see the
and connect to all network resources via My Network Places.

Thanks for helping me out.

Try moving it to a workgroup and then adding it back to the domain.

Why didn't I think of that???

I'll give it a try and return to whine if it doesn't work.
