RE: Keeping the same NT4 domain name( NetBIOS) while migrating to W3k

Hi James,

Thank you for posting here.

I totally agree with Danny's opinion that you also may install Windows NT
on a new box and join the domain, set it to BDC. Then promote the BDC to
PDC.Now the old PDC would demote to BDC. Perform an in-place upgrade on new
PDC to Windows 2003. Now you retain the the same NetBios name as before.

| I have a situation where I have a client that wantâ??s to retain the same
nt4
| domain name as before. I have thought about this for a while now and I
am
| just about to go set up a lab. If you were to install a fresh copy of
w3k on
| new hardware and join it to the nt4 domain as a child domain, replicate
with
| the nt4 PDC, demote it and make the w3k server the primary domain
controller,
| would this work, if so would this then keep the same domain name as
| before????
|
| Any help on this would be greatâ?¦
