How do you configure Windows NT RAS Server to Windows 2000 Ras Server?

Answer 1

Add the RRAS computer to the appropriate group:

1. Log on to your computer with an account that has administrator privileges on the Windows 2000 domain.

2. Launch the Active Directory Users and Computers MMC snap-in, and then double-click the domain name.

3. Double-click the Users folder, and then double-click the RAS and IAS Servers security group.

4. Select the members tab.

5. Add the RRAS server to this group.

If the organization has more than one domain in the forest, and users from the different domains are trying to log on to the RRAS server, continue to follow steps 1 through 5 until the RRAS server is in the "RAS and IAS Servers" security group for each respective domain.

Use the Netsh.exe Utility

The Netsh.exe methods can only be used if the RRAS server is Windows 2000-based.

Use either of the following methods with the Netsh.exe tool:

1

Log on the RRAS computer using an account that has domain administrator privileges, type netsh ras add registered server at a command prompt, and then press ENTER.

2

To run a command with administrator privileges without being logged in as an administrator:

1. At a command prompt on the RRAS computer, type runas /user:domain name\administrator name "cmd", where domain name is the appropriate domain name, and administrator name is the appropriate administrator name. You are then prompted to enter a password for this account. If this computer is able to connect to the domain controller and verify the credentials, a command prompt opens with the following information in the title bar:

cmd (running as domain name\administrator name)

2. At a command prompt, type netsh ras add registeredserver at a command prompt, and then press ENTER.
