Do you really need to keep the same name? Are you sure? Are you really sure?
For this type of restore I don't see the need to do anything off network. Shut down the old server, restore to the new server, fix whatever is still broke. [1] But I try my darndest to never have to actually do that and use the ECMSM instead if at all possible. [1] More or less.

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.
