Moving from NT 4.0 domain to AD (2k3). Doing direct upgrade from BDC so all
accounts will automaticaly be updated.
Question:
What needs to happen on the client side? Just a reboot? change the domain
name at logon screen? etc.

Thanks

Not totally sure what "Direct upgrade from BDC" means but..

To upgrade you must upgrade the PDC first.

Upgrading the PDC will carry the only writeable copy of the SAM into the AD
domain and you would have to do nothing to the clients.

Upgrading the BDC will create a new SAM. New SAM = new domain. You will have
to add these clients to the new domain and deal with the new profiles
created.
