---- I'll keep the old domain until its completely updated to 2003.
---- In my test envirement after ADMT, I'm able to login to both domains,
with same Profile, i removed the trust, and i'm only able to login to the
old -----domain. How do I force the clients to logon to the new domain,
where they have user and computeraccount.

REBC: Have you migrated the computer account? if you client still in the
old domain, it can only logon to the old domain.

---- Oke, I can change computername later, without any problems?
REBC: What is your meaning? If you put the new server in the old network,
you cannot use the same name as the old NT DC. You need give win2k3 server
a new name as well as a new domain name for the win2k3 domain.

---- is it better to promote the bdc to pdc, (The current bdc is the server
not yet being updated)

REBC: I am a little unclear about it. You want to migrate from NT to
win2k3, which means you want to use ADMT to migrate all user/computer
accounts from NT to win2k3, correct? If so, it is not necessary to promote
the BDC to PDC. For security reason, you can perform a full system backup
for WinNT PDC.

Further questions, let us get in touch!
