Is it a primary DC, or a member server? You state that it is both in your 
e-mail. 

If it is a PDC and you upgrade to 2000 or 2003, it will want to install Active 
Directory and you'll have yourself a new domain. You say that this domain is 
going to be extinct, so you may not want to upgrade and may want to consider a 
reinstall.

Then you have to think about what you want to happen to the accounts in that 
domain (if it is a PDC). If you want to keep the accounts, you'll have to 
migrate them to the other domain. If you don't care about the accounts, then 
again, you're looking at a reinstall.

Hello Guys,
 
I have an NT 4 machine which is a primary dc for a domain which is going to
be extinct. That machine will be a Win 2k/2k3 member server of another
domain. Any thoughts on upgrading or just reinstalling the machine? Any real
reasons to fear an upgrade? Even on just a member server?
Thanks a lot?
 
Regards,
