Yah, maybe you're right.. It's just that the NT domain is soooo much
messyyy.. And the box, way to small to handle Win2k3.. What's the trick
you were talking about?
I am going to say it straight out (with no intention to
criticize, only to state the case):
Anyone who has a "messy" NT domain will soon have
a messy (probably worse) AD domain.
Clean it up -- now or after you upgrade, but don't use
this phony reason to avoid upgrading. This idea has
been propagated largely by those who aren't very good
at maintaining there domains.
Trust those who are GOOD at Domain Administration
and you will find that the normal recommendation is
"upgrade".
These systems were DESIGNED to be upgradable and
you will definitely avoid far more problems in almost
all cases by doing so rather than "starting over".
Chances are, even the "import" itself would propagate
most of the mess junk so there isn't even a reasonably
chance you wouldn't be just as "messy".

Finaly migrating from a 3 server NT domain(1 PDC, 2 BDC), to a Win2k3
active directory environement. The AD on our new win2k3 is up and
running, and ready to welcome the new users! : )
Most people will be FAR BETTER off (fewer problems
and issues) if they JUST UPGRADE to Win2003.
My bigest concern is the File server..
One of the major reasons for UPGRADING rather than
trying to re-create the uses on a 'new domain.'
Would it be possible to like emulate the NT domain on our new AD domain
to migrate users and still access their old file server in the NT
domain? I don't want to migrate all at once, and would like to do it
gradually, if that's possible.
Everything that seems to concern you would be solved
by upgrading.
Even if you hardware doesn't (directly) support such
upgrades there are (easy) tricks to still upgrade the
NT domain.
If not, is the other way arround possible? Migrate the File server to
the new AD, and still be accessible to the NT users??
You are likely going to have security and permissions
issues with any form of migration -- all this can be
avoided by upgrading.
Also, with User Profiles which just work when you
upgrade.
