I have one domain with 400 users. I'm planning to upgrade my domain to
windows 2000 and active directory. Since we only have one domain, we are
going to upgrade our existing domain to active directory and we are not
going to migrate to a new domain. Has any one ever done this? Can someone
enlighten me with dos and dont's? What should I watch for and what should I
be concerned about? Any tips would definitely help. Most of our existing
servers in this domain are running windows 2000 operating system.
 
Upgrade the PDC first.

Make sure you have a handle on DNS.

AD will not work properly without setting up DNS properly.
