To answer the question reasonably, we will need to know more about what you're doing and why.

I have read over the DR Whitepapers and KB Article 177635 and am slightly confused and hope one of you guys can clarify Once you have installed a BDC to the production NT4 domain and it has a copy of the SAM Accounts Database, it then says take it off the production network, isolate it and then promote to a PDC. Do you have to promote this to a PDC? or is it an option. The reason I ask is because ideally once the Exchange Server is restored to my new hardware, I would like to place this back on my production network which already has a PDC and unless I am mistaken, you can only have 1 PDC on an NT4 Domain If anyone has any other KB Articles they can recommend, I will gladly read them.
