It's been a while since we did that here in the college of business.
If memory serves me correctly, we did a new server, ran DC promo, and
then transferred the FSMO roles, and made one of the new servers a
global catalog server.
It wasn't as bad as going from NT 4 domains to Active directory.

Subject: [MSUNAG] upgrading domain controller
List,
I am running a windows domain with a domain controller on Windows 2000.
I have a new server with Windows 2003 and I want to make it the domain
controller.
The 2003 server is brand new, I haven't even turn it on.
I had been reading what I found available in the internet about a 2003
taking over a domain from a 2000 but I would like to listen stories or
experiences of people who went through this transition before. I am sure
that many of you already did it.
According with what I had seen, it seems to be an straight forward
procedure, but you never know and I would not like to make my network go
down.
