It's not an NT4 domain if you upgrade the PDC is it? In other words if you
have a domain called "ohio" how is that going to work when you
move it to a domain model where DNS is the central construct?

I remember there were some other issues as well, like you had to upgrade
the DNS server to W2K before you modified the domain so that the new W2K
PDC could autocreate the DNS entries it needed or something along those
lines. The machine can't autoregister with an NT4 dns server can it?
