What role does this NT server have now? If it's currently a standalone or
member server, you can join it to the domain. If it's a DC, you have to
rebuild it.

You do know that NT is no longer supported, right? I'd just migrate the data
off it and build it as a W200* server if the hardware is new/good enough to
justify it.
