Thanks Rebecca,

Is the same true during the original upgrade?
To refresh.
Current NT4 domain = ABC1
New W2k3 FQDN = NA.global.net but will still use ABC1 for
NETBIOS name.

We will be testing this in a lab environment on Monday
(if it ever stops raining). I'm trying to get a hndle on
all the little gotchas before so we know what to expect
and can report to management.

Thank you to all for you time and help on these fora.
