Ryan thanks for your answer but one thing is that you have not answered my
question.

A) Will the Trust be there when I change my current PDC and make my new
server a PDC? Will the trust transwer? Second not sure what you meant when
you said "
Now, you'll have AD with the NT4 server as a BDC" Why would it be a BDC and
not PDC? Thanks for your help.
