Ok, this may be a stupid question but i've been out of the Windows world for a couple years. We have a single domain network running NT 4.0. We want to migrate to a Windows 2003 server that is already in place. How do we go about this without losing all user data (on NT)? Is there a simple way of performing this? Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

Depends on about a hundred things, including your size and configuration.

Leveraging 2003 to your businesses advantage and migrating your user accounts isn't something to just try unless your organization is simple and small (maybe only 30 users).

This isn't a stupid question - it's one many business look at. Better accept now that your migration is likely to be expensive and painful, and I would strongly recommend bringing in a reputable consultant company to assist you. Someone who has gone through migrations before and has the map through the minefield.
