Thanks for your information.

I have a NT4 domain now with just one PDC (running on an old Compaq ML370).
We have a new HP DL380 now with a Windows 2003 licence - but it seems that
this new hardware doesn't support NT4 anymore... So what can I do in that
case?

I really don't want to upgrade the PDC directly to Windows 2003 (not only
because I don't have a Windows 2003 licence for it, but mostly because I
want to have a fall-back route in case the upgrade fails!)
