If you want to migrate to 2003, forget the NT stuff. Post your question in the 2003 Server Forum, and buy yourself a good book on 2003 Server. :)
Life is more painless for those who are brainless.

Install win nt server and make it the backup BDC. The only change is that it helps with netlogon.
like jennifer states: if u gonna migrate to win2k3 forget the nt stuff and break out the books for 2k3. unless you just upgrade - everything SHOULD go smoothly
