NT 4.0 to 2000 Server

[Barry Taylor]

All,

Here's my scenario. I've got an NT 4 domain with 1 PDC
and 1 BDC and 1 Member Server(already W2K running term
service/citrix). I want to upgrade my PDC and BDC.
These are both Compaq Proliants 6000. My plan is to
upgrade them both to 2000 server (PDC first then BDC).
Both are running SQL 7 for different applications.
Obviously I'll have several backups (tape, drives on
other pc's, etc.), but I'm wondering if there are any
hidden things I may be missing. My understanding is that
upgrading shouldn't bother the SQL 7 installations at
all. But I sure would appreciate some feedback. Thanks.
Barry

AD requires a DNS server for AD. The set up is not the same as NT 4.0.
