We have a very small network, about 20 workstations (Win2K & XP). Domain is currently set up on an old Dell running NT4 SP6. Not a lot in the way of Group Policies, no DNS, basic office programs and some proprietary software.

We have bought a new HP Proliant server with Small Business Server 2003-R2, plus Exchange Server.
My question is, which would be better (read: less stressful) - migrate from NT4 or build a new domain from scratch and transfer files?

Links to online help sources would be appreciated.

I have the exact same setup right down to the server. The Microsoft ADMT4 tool will do users and computers but fails with errors saying it can't even ping the PC's when it goes to install the utility to do the profile migration. Microsoft documentation is as usual textbook like and has no idea what actually happens in the real world. How did you get around this?
