Can i do an inplace upgrade from nt40 server sp6 to w2k
server? How does this effect the PDC?? Does AD
automatically "turn on"?? How does this effect my current
NT4 servers, one being a BDC??

thx..

If possible, get a new server (even a temporary "swing" box) and install it
as a BDC on your domain, patch it to the same level/SP6a. ...this way you
know it's clean. Then promote it to PDC. Then upgrade it to W2k. Then you
can upgrade your other servers....
