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: Information
