I guess what i need to figure out now is the direction to go after this.
Like what to do with DNS, WINS, etc.... I know WINS has to be pretty
bulletproof as we need it working for both our 9x boxes and our Meditech
system (as we are going to be moving to DHCP).
Any pointers anyone can give me now :)

Perfect. That is the "Swing" method, because you are swinging your account
database over to a temporary server, and then swinging it back.

This is what the instructor of our AD class told us is a good way to do it,
just want to check if I may be missing anything:
1 - Build a temporary box as a NT4.0 BDC
2 - Promote the temporary box to a PDC
3 - Check replication
4 - Upgrade the temporary box to Windows 2k or 2k3
5 - Wipe out one of the existing NT4.0 BDC's and set it up from scratch with
2k or 2k3 as a member server
6 - Run DCPROMO on the member server
7 - Transfer the 5 roles to this newly promoted machine
8 - Demote the temporary box and remove it
Does this sound like a good start?
Right now I have the temp box setup as a NT4.0 BDC.
I have 6 servers I need to bring into this newly formed W2k AD structure
when all is said and done.
