Planning an upgrade from NT4.0 to Windows 2000 Server with a new machine.I am thinking I will need to have both of these servers on the network prior to switching over permenantly to the new Win2k machine. That being the case, I will need a different computer name for the Win2k box. Does this mean I will need to remap everyone's "mapped network drives" who are using shared folders on the server? Is there any issue with renaming the Win2k machine once I remove the NT 4.0 machine from the network? If all the drive letters and folders are the same will all the workstations see the mapped drives again?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
