Would like some insight as to best way to proceed. I currently have a lan with one NT4 server on which we run Exchange 5.5, a proprietary business application, and store documents. Have inherited another NT4 Server with faster processers, more mem. and storage. Whats best plan to utilize new server?

There are a lot of possible ways to utilize this new server. Your question did not really imply that you wish to replace the existing server. In that case you can simply add the 'new' server to the existing domain. You can either install it as a member server, or as a domain controller. You need only know your domain name. You will want to specify a static IP address for this server, in which case you will need to know your existing servers IP address as it should be your domain controller (PDC) and will I imagine be running DNS and possibly WINS. You can add the IP address and name of the server to the DNS domain listing. Are you using DHCP for your end user systems?
