I just installed a windows server 2003. I will make it a
PDC and bring my PDC and 2 BDC's from a windows NT 4
domain. Any ideas on the best way to do it? Any
critical thing I need to do first? Thanks

Your plan will not work. There is *no* *way* to have a NT 4.0 PDC and a Win
2k3 DC in the SAME domain.
You need to either upgrade or migrate.
To upgrade you MUST upgrade the NT 4.0 PDC first. To migrate you would set
up 2 separate domains "side by side" on the same wire and use ADMT to move
users from one domain to the other

The most "critical" thing you need to do is take your time and plan your
path through the upgrade/migration. You need to know enough about the pros
and cons of each to make the *right* decision in your case. You need to know
what you want the final outcome to look like, then you can determine the
proper course (upgrade or migrate). One question that goes a long way in
determining which method you take is: Do you need the domain name to be the
same? If so that pretty much rules out directly migrating to Win 2k3 because
to migrate you need to create a trust between the two domain. You can't
create a trust between two domain with the same name. There are way's around
it but you have to know what you are doing.

No you cannot do that. The previous post is what you need to do. The
Win2k/2k3 machines CANNOT be a domain controller at all in a NT4 domain.

You do not get the option to "demote a NT 4.0 PDC" you only get the option
to promote a NT 4.0 BDC to PDC which demotes the NT 4.0 PDC. No this will
not work.

I thank you both for your help. I have one last
question. If I do the migration which is what I'm
thinking about, am I going to be able to see my two NT

between the two domains, you have to see each domain to set up a trust.
