Maybe. Problem is that the NT4 Server has a machine account in a
domain and you'd have to replicate that, including the passsword.

Here's a much easier solution. A Linux boot floppy that lets you

Truthfully, after you're done breaking in and seeing what's on the
machine you'd be best off nuking the HD and resintalling whatever OS
you want.
