Can anyone help ? We have a bit of a problem with our
migration strategy from NT4 (server, client, domain and
IP services) to the new 2003 (server, XP client, AD etc)
environment.

I wish to co-exist NT4 clients and XP clients on the same
subnets, but I need to service them with different DHCP
options. ie. I I need the XP clients to point to the new
DNS servers, but the NT4 clients to point to the old DNS
and WINS servers.

Is there a way to get the new DHCP servers to do this ?
or do I need to combine the two ?

If the combination is the solution, will this cause me a
issue if the old and new environments are in differnet
domains (olddomain.co.uk, newdomain.com) ?

Any help or advise much apprieciated.
Cheers,
Mike
