If it has a problem, you pull out the backup tape you make just before you
did the upgrade and you do a restore, no fear.

I am soooo glad I stuck with Acad 2000 instead of having to deal with their
insane copy protection bs. Anyway, 2003 can be a member of a NT4 domain but
you cannot mix 2000 or 2003 domain controllers with an NT4 domain. When you
change over from NT4 domain to a 2000 or 2003 you have to either do an
upgrade or rebuild the domain from scratch or there may be a migration tool
(I never looked into that) but you can't mix them.
