[windows2000] Active Directory Migration Tool

Hi List,
 
Anyone ever use the Windows 2000 Active Directory Migration Tool to go from
NT 4.0 to 2000 server?  I have a client who is doing that, but they are
going from NT 4.0 server (SP 6a) to 2000 server (SP3) on the same box.  They
want the installation of 2000 to be a clean install.  So here's my question.
Does the AD Migration Tool need to have the nt 4.0 domain and the 2000 AD
domain running at the same time to do the migration, or can it do something
like, run on the NT 4.0 box, save all the domain stuff (sids, user accounts,
passwords, etc . . .) into a file or whatever and then do the import into AD
when the 2000 box is built?
 
TIA for any guidance!
