I am following the steps according to Apple's "Migrating to Mac OS X Server from Windows NT". In terminal, in enter (as instructed):

sudo /usr/sbin/ntdomainmigration.sh <ntdomain> <ntserver> <ntadmin> <diradmin>

hit return and "An error occurred migration domain; check system log"

Entry in system log is as follows:

[date stamp] [server name] serveradmin: servermgr_smb: opendirectorypdbconfig error [238]
[date stamp] [server name] serveradmin: servermgr_smb: opendirectorypdbconfig stdout: [opendirectorypdbconfig error(-14098)\n]

What are the errors?
 
This is an AD domain, correct? If so, did you already add the new server in AD Users and Computers from an XP Pro box?
 
If it's an NT server, then there's no AD. NT 4.0 didn't have Active Directory. AD only appeared with Windows 2000 and up.
 
Yeah, remember that AD 2000 and 2003 used LDAP to communicate, while legacy style domains used an implementation of CIFS to move user info.

Any more info in the logs? Are you sure you have the NT domain right?
 
After many attempts and some hair pulling, we were able to get the migration to complete successfully. We now have an Xserve running as an Open Directory Master and have demoted our local AD Domain Controller. We still have the another AD Domain Controller up and running on another subnet. But, we plan on demoting that AD Domain Controller soon. Just trying to get a little comfort level before pulling the plug.

Thanks for all the replies, much appreciated.
