Alex: I have almost the same issue as of Tom. I have
already a NT 4.0 BDC in my domain and now i want to
replace it with a new machine with windows 2003. What i
did was install the NT 4.0 in the new machine. My question
is should i install it as a BDC or PDC for later to be
upgraded/migrated to Windows 2003 as a domain controller.
If i do it as NT 4.0 PDC, CAN TWO PDC's exist in one
domain. What are my best options.
