Hello:

If I would like to perform the NT4 to AD in-place upgrade, does any place that I need to pay attention?

Estimate Steps:
1.) Setup a New NT4 server to join the existing NT4 Domain as BDC.
2.) Promote the New NT4 server as PDC.
3.) Place the Windows 2003 CD on PDC & perform the upgrade.

Suppose I have 1 PDC & 4 DBC in the NT4 domain.
Does all the NT4 domain need to set the DNS as the AD Root server's ip?

If the Windows 2003 DC is the DNS server, then yes. And it almost has to be since AD cannot use an NT DNS server.

Cheers,

Cliff
