NT Domain Rename and Upgrade to Serer 2003

Hi

I have a few questions I hope you can help with.

I am involved in a project to re-name an NT Domain then use an in-house
upgrade to Server 2003. My prefered method would have been build a new 2003
Forest with the new required domain name then user the ADMT tool to migrate
the users and resources.

However, an alternative solution has been sold to the customer that being,
re-name the NT Domain. Once the NT4 domain has been renamed then peform an
inhouse upgrade.

My concern is issues around the SID when re-naming the NT4 domain. The
solution will be as follows:

• Build a new BDC - allow replication
• Remove the new BDC from existing Domain
• Rename to new domain name BDC
• Promote to new domain name PDC
• Reconnect to Network
• Add another BDC
• Establish trusts
• Set up security permissions
• Move 10 client machines into new domain
• Trial Logons
• Resecure DATA at all sites
• Move remaining clients into new domain
• Move Member servers to new domain
• Tidy up

Can anyone advise if there will be any SID issues when we connect the users,
clients and resoruces to this new domain?
