I configured a backup domain controller. I installed the newest novell client  
  
on this machine. I want to use this server for MSDSS because we want to  
  
migrate from nds to active directory. When I start MSDSS it gives me the  
  
message:  
  
"Windows cannot find microsoft directory synchronization service. MSDSS  
  
might not have been started on the specified domain controller or you are not  
  
a member of the MSDSS admins group"  
  
Is it absolutely necessary to install MSDSS on my Primary domain controller?  
  
This is not wat I want because my PDC is also my terminal server and I don't  
  
want to frustrate my users with a novell and windows logon.  
  
Is there a way to get MSDSS running on an backup domain controller?

I don't think you need to install it on the PDC.  
  
MSDSS requires that you extend your Active Directory schema, and for  
  
that task you need to be a member of the Enterprise Admins or Schema  
  
Admins group.
