Excellent choice!! :-)

The next step is when dcpromo runs...

Yes, as long as you don't have any more NT4 domain controllers.

Nope, SID remains the same.

Well, if you;re running an upgrade, that's automatic. You can test it (and
actually better to do it this way) by creating a BDC in your domain, takje
your current PDC offline, promote the BDC to the PDC, and upgrade that. If
any problems, just trash the box and start over again.

Dcpromo will upgrade DNS for you if already installed. So set it up now.

No, dcpromo will create a new zone for your new domain. YOu can also do it
before hand. Take the text file, and change the references to the new name,
then create the new zone and tell it to use the new text file.

See, if you have this BDC, you need to stay in mixed mode. If everything
works, trash it (unplug it, etc). If in Mixed mode, change it to Native.

Not required in an "upgrade".
