Hello daniel_portero,

This article is very complex but everything is ok from the way to handle it.
So the easy way is make a BACKUP or IMAGE B E F O R E upgrading,
run the CD and if everything is fine the progam will offer you the option
to upgrade. Did it from NT4 to 2003 without any problem.
The workstations shouldn't be any problem, just control after upgrade that
the server ip address, DNS and DHCP (if used) is running on your requirements.

Best regards
