Preparing for Migration to Active Directory
Preparation for the migration from Windows NT 4 to Windows Server 2003 and Active Directory will occur in the following phases:
Planning the migration
Testing the migration plan
Conducting a pilot migration
Additionally, you should plan for a period of maintenance and support to follow the deployment. However, this is not unique to a directory service migration project, and it is not discussed in this section.
