We currently have one PDC NT4 domain supporting about 300 workstations. We want to migrate to a new Dell server with 2003 Server preinstalled but not setup. Our goal is to maintain the SAME domain name that was used in NT4 (if possible). We want to use ADMT for the migration. Keep in mind that the machine names are different (NT4 and 2003 Server names). Also, different static IPs will be assigned to the new server. Is this a do-able project?
