Server Migration w/Active Directory -- Domain Concerns....
Premise:
I am preparing to migrate NT 4.0 servers to Win2K Adv. Server. I wish to take advantage of Active Directory.
All clients are already Win2K. I have a PDC and BDC. ***I have purchased a new server to start fresh ( that is, I am not merely upgrading ). ***
Question:
Is it better ( not necessarily easier, but technically correct ) to start a new trusted domain, migrate
everything over, and sunset the old domain, or set the new DC up as part of my current domain?????
Please, no guesses -- only the experienced need answer !!!
Thanks for your help !!!

If you start a new domain, you will have to manage making all the clients members of the new domain (not fun). I looked at this too and decided against it since the migration path is very easy as long as you take the right precautions ahead of time.

Thanks, MikeKane.
Unless someone can come up with a good reason to start a new domain, I think I'll proceed under the old one. Any takers??
