In-place upgrade of Windows NT 4 PDC to Windows 2003 DC
LockedCurrently i intend to run a in-place upgrade of a Windows NT 4 PDC to Windows 2003 DC on my server box. The current domain uses a flat namespace of ‘ntdomain’.
During upgrade will i be prompt for a change for a new domain name (such as abc.com) as what we usually see when we do a dcpromo ? I need to change the domain name to abc.com
My concerns are what impact will it have on all client workstations running on Windows 2000 Professionals and Windows XP Professionals, such as user profiles and is there any new options to logon to the new domain ? Lastly, due to some software compatibility issues, i will not be upgrading the current Windows NT 4 BDC immediately as it will still be needed to function in the production environment.
Thanks
