ISW NT connector on windows 2000?

Question

I am installing identity synchronization for windows 1, on a directory server (5.2) that is replicated with another directory server (5.1). I may not upgrade the other directory server. It's part of a software product, and we won't have their support anymore if we upgrade subcomponents of their product.
Password synchronization with windows NT works fine, because changes in password on the NT servers are written to the for me accessible directory server which replicates them to the inaccessible directory server.
For AD however, the password is checked through the Directory Server Plugin (when the dspswvalidate attribute is true), and i can not install that plugin on the inaccessible directory server.
Is there a way to install the NT connecter on Windows 2000 servers anyway?
Thanks,
Willem

Hi Dan,
Unfortunatly Sander was right. I had exactly the same problem. I couldn't open
Console (there was no socket 7001 in netstat -a). After creation password.ini
everything is OK (except that password is in clear text)

I am not quite sure it is a password problem because that should occur
at the
service startup time. As a matter of fact, NT service does not need
a
password.ini file as long as you have not changed your password after
the
installation.
Can you access the console at the local NT machine where the NT service
is
running using IP address 127.0.0.1 instead of a DNS name? Actually,
you can
do this by simply using the startup menu icon "Start Default Console".

You need to specify the password to start te server, you can do thisby
putting the password in a file called password.ini
You can put this file in the same directory where you start Weblogic
Please be aware of the fact that WL as a NT service stops when youlog-on
and off the machine. This is due to a problem with the current JDK(1.3.0)
According to other posting in this newsgroup Sun will change this behaviour
in the upcoming JDK 1.3.1

I started the WebLogic 6.0 as NT service. After it was started i
tried to
access the administrator console through the web browser. I alwaysget
"Cannot find server" or "DNS Error".If I start weblogic using the
startWebLogic.cmd, the admin console seems to work fine.Also when WebLogic
6.0 is installed as an NT service, do i need to specify any startup
parameters?I would appreciate your responses.ThanksShyam
