Upgrading PDC

[Sosa Escobar]

Hi,

I currently have two domains - 1 windows 2000 and 1 windows NT. I want to
take the domain controller for NT and upgrade it to 2000 domain controller
as part of the windows 2000 domain.

Does this mean that all accounts on this NT PDC for the NT domain will be
lost when adding it as a DC for the windows 2000 domain? Or does it migrate
them across. As I want to get rid of the NT domain.

Any help would be much appreciated.

They will be lost. Try using ADMT (from Microsoft) or Ideal Migration
