Hi, I am migrating from NT to 2003 in my test lab. I have 2 NT
domains(2PDC's), an exchange server in domain A and a win2k pro client in
domain A. There is a 2 way trust between domain A and B. I upgraded
domain A to 2003 and put it in Native mode (2k mode). There is still a
trust between the 2 domains (domain B is still NT domain) and everything
appears to be fine. But when you log in I still get NT domain list
(domainA) instead of new AD domain list (domainA.com). In system settings
on 2k client it reports the domain as domainA.com. Why do I still get old
NT domain list?

Because a user can login to three things:

1) Local machine account (unless a DC usually)
2) Machine's domain
3) Domains trusted by machine's domain.

It's because of the trust.
 
Hmm. Well I removed the Trust and now it only gives me choice for domainA
(pre-win2k domain). Could it be browser issue?

You mean the wrong domain?

If that's the case the machine is still in the old domain.

Remove/join the other.

You still get the old NT domain name in the list because the "old" N
domain name is the new NetBIOS name. That domain list shows NetBIO
names (pre-Windows 2000 domain name) and not DNS names (the new Window
2000 naming scheme). There is not a way for you to change it and th
system is functioning as Microsoft programmed it to.

If you want to use the new domain name to logon, then you need to us
the User Principal Name (UPN). Look at the account tab for a use
account and you will see Logon name and Pre-Windows 2000 Logon name.

Example:

Logon name: (e-mail address removed)

Pre-Windows 2000 Logon name: DOMAINA\user1
