Hi Joseph,
If you add a new BDC in the current domain, promote BDC to PDC and then
in-place upgrade from NT to win2k3, the domain name is retained.
I believe the present on Technet you have listened is to introduce the
migration process.
The migrate process is that you want to create a new win2k3 domain with a
new domain name and migrate all information from NT to win2k3 domain. In
this scenario, you need to create two-way trust between NT and win2k3
domain and individually move DHCP, WINS, DNS to the target domain.
In your scenario, both upgrade and migration will be the option. To choose
upgrade or migration process depends on your decision. If you don't want to
change the domain name and keep the current network topology, and the new
machine supports both NT and win2k3, you may consider using the upgrade
process, which is easier. The upgrade process is addressed in my previous
reply.
The following are the good reading:
