Talk:Primary Domain Controller

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am disputing the following:

A Primary Domain Controller (PDC) is a concept used in Windows NT server operating systems whereby a user may be granted access to a number of computer resources with the use of a single username and password combination. In later releases of Windows, such as Windows 2000, it has been superceded by Active Directory.

This is not correct. Primary Domain Controllers were used in NT4, but when Windows 2000 was released, if it is run in native mode (and not mixed mode) then all domain controllers are domain controllers but run in a ring topology. Active Directory is a concept, but the PDC/BDC servers are superceded by a ring based topology of DC's so I don't think it's accurate to phrase things the way that we have here. - Ta bu shi da yu 03:59, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)


I had gone ahead and made some changes to the article to make it more accurately reflect what a PDC truly is as opposed to what the article had said before.
