If you are currently operating in a Windows NT 4.0 environment, you must decide how to restructure the remaining MUDs that you are not upgrading in place and your existing resource domains into the Active Directory domains that you have designed. Because you can use OUs in an Active Directory environment to delegate control, MUDs and resource domains are no longer needed for the delegation of control to administrators. As part of your domain design, decide how you will restructure your MUDs and resource domains into the new Windows Server 2003 environment.
