I just had a question, when I upgrade the NT4 PDC with 2000, are the user passwords going to stay the same? or are they going to have to create new ones once the upgrade is done? Also, what is a good resource for me to look online on different ways of upgrading an NT 4 Domain to Mixed mode active directory? I have other NT4 bdcs at remote sites systems that need to be in mixed mode for now.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

To answer your first question, the passwords will stay the same.

Here is a Q Article on how to upgrade your PDC. It also has links to additional resources.

Before you start your upgrade I highly recommend reading additional resources. The link below has an abundant array of information regarding Windows 2000 and AD.
