Hello, we have a client running on Windows NT 4. We are going to use a swing migration to migrate them to 2003. The swing migration requires you to build an additional NT server and add it to the existing production environment as a BDC. It has been a long time since I've touched NT so my question is, how do I add an NT server as a BDC? From what I've been reading, it sounds like you have to have the server hooked up to the production environment while you are installing NT? In other words, you tell NT that you want this server to be a BDC during the installation of the OS?
