If I were in your position, I would take a couple of old desktops and
attempt the transition on them (put Win 2K server on one, Win 2K3 on the
other). This will give you the experience, without risking your
production system.

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.
