in the cached version the KB states> After the upgrade is complete, the
server restarts, and then the Active Directory Installation Wizard starts
automatically. In the wizard, specify the appropriate Active Directory
options

ie if my NT4 domain is
domain = testdomain
machine FQDN = pc1.organisation.co.uk
I will run a test system first but it would be nice to see some screenshots
or hear other views
