Mike, I see no problem with this. After running DCPromo, install DNS and have the Windows 2003 servers running DNS. You will want to move your FSMO roles from the 2000 DCs to the 2003 DCs. You can then run DCPromo on the Windows 2000 DCs with no problems.

I'm planning on running DCPROMO on the 2003 servers and joining them as additional domain controllers to my existing domain then demoting my 2000 servers to remove them from the domain. Does anyone see flaws in this approach? What about DNS? My 2 existing Domain controllers are running AD integrated DNS. Should I install DNS on the 2003 DC's after promotion so they're already integrated then remove it off the 2000 servers? Thanks in advance for advice...
