Migration Path
Upgrading to Win2003 is clear-cut,
but not easy--nor should it be. Microsoft wants
enterprises to think about how they're deploying
the operating system for efficiency, effectiveness
and security. Win2K users will find the migration
process relatively clear-cut, while Windows NT 4.0
users will have more to consider and more
difficulties transitioning to an Active Directory
environment. In both cases, planning and
preparation are vitally important. Source:
