When you are upgrading an NT4 domain to Windows Server 2003, the first
machine to be upgraded must be the PDC on the domain.

This doesn't mean that your production PDC needs to be the first machine
upgraded - you can do a clean NT4 install of a "swing" machine as an
additional BDC on your
NT4 domain, promote that machine to be the PDC, then upgrade the clean
machine without affecting any apps running on your NT4 PDC. (You should also
install a second "swing" BDC and take it offline completely as a roll-back
option in case you are dissatisfied with the 2003 upgrade for any reason.)
