Hi, Dave,

If I carry out the domain rename, how to handle the XP professional computer
because before upgrade, they logon network abc_xx, does it to use ADMT tools
??

Thanks
Jimmy

NETBIOS name will still be abc_xx. You either need to do a domain rename or
a straight migration instead of an inplace upgrade in order to no longer
have the old domain name.

make sure the recycle bin is empty and the computer is rebooted and left at
a log in prompt.
