Hi all,

I'm merging/upgrading some NT 4 domains together.
Domain A and Domain B are both account and resource domains.

I've upgraded Domain A to 2003, and am planning to migrate users and
computers from Domain B into Domain A using ADMT v2.

Domain B is small.  In fact when I took over it consisted of a single
PDC that had all files on it.  I've since added a second DC and
transfered the PDC role to it.

So, to get to my question:

The BDC in Domain B has all the files of the Users I am going to be
transfering.  Is there any way to upgrade this BDC to a 2003 member
server without upgrading the domain to 2k3 AD first?  I would then
just move it to domain A as a member server using ADMT.  From what
I've read it seems the only way would be to upgrade the PDC to 2k3,
then upgrade this bdc to 2k3 then dcpromo it down to a member server. 
Is this the route I have to take, or is there an easier way?

Thanks in advance for the help.
