RE: Migrating NT to Windows 2003. Help please!!

Hi Elizabeth,

Thanks for posting!

At this point, if you need to keep the original domain name, the best
practice is to perform an upgrade from Windows NT domain to Windows 2k3
domain. However, the new machine does not support Windows NT. As Michele
said, you may use Microsoft virtual PC and also a temporary machine which
support either Windows NT or Windows 2k3 server.

More detailed information for your reference:
Upgrade to Windows 2003 with hardware that does not support Windows NT 4.0.
