Server Replication

I currently have a Windows NT Server PDC in place and will be adding a Windows Server 2003 Domain Controller to the network.  The NT Server will stay in place to run their software.  My question is how can I set the 2003 Server to do an initial replication with the NT Server to replicate all the users over?

DeltaFire:  You are correct..but the original question states: "I currently have a Windows NT Server PDC in place and will be adding a Windows Server 2003 Domain Controller to the network."  You can not add a Windows 2003 domain controller to an NT 4.0 domain.  You can upgrade the NT 4.0 to Windows 2003 and still have NT 4.0 BDC's existing in it...but you can not add a Windows 2003 DC to an NT 4.0 domain.
Sorry my mistake, I read the question again :-)

So what you are telling me is that there is no easy way to do this.  Upgrading the NT Server is out of the question.  I havent worked too much with the functional levels.  DO you have any links that might be helpful?  
Install Windows NT 4.0 as a BDC of your existing domain on the NEW server. Then perform an INPLACE UPGRADE on the NEW server.  Why is upgrading out of the question?  huh..guess I don't really understand what you want....
There is a propriatory Aplication that requires NT 4.0 to be present.
