What a complete waste it became. The active directory was so thrashed that there was no way to recover it and make things useful.
That said, I am gong to put backups and secondary domain controllers on hold for a while until I've done some more self-educating on the subject.
The new network is in place however, and humming along quite well. There was a small glitch in getting the 98 machines printing again (had to add their computer name and users to the AD store) but that is now resolved. I ended up reinstalling the 98dsclient but I'm not sure if that was necessary. They don't login to the network.
One of the schools I'm supporting I hope will decide it's worth their money to invest in a backup solution aside from ntbackup. Basically with external drives on the cheap these days and the school's use of multimedia, using ntbackup to backup to DVDs each week is a bit tedious. More on that later and the solution that gets put in. I don't want to turn this blog into a bitch session (yet anyways).
