Promoting a 2000 server box to a BDC in a 2003 environment??

[Guest]

Outside of having a good backup what else do I need to be aware when
promoting a 2000 member server to a domain controller in a server 2003
environment? This 2000 box will be the BDC. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

There is no such thing as a BDC in Win 2k or Win 2k3. They operate in
multimaster mode.

You should be aware of the domain function level also.

there's no BDC mode in 2000/2003 networks. NT4 was the last to use PDC/BDC's
