It depends what you mean with temporary... To introduce w2k3 DCs in a w2k AD forest you need at least to prepare the forest and the domain that will host a new w2k3 dc. As you may know schema updates cannot be undone, but you can introduce a w2k3 dc and later on remove it as needed. For more info on how to uograde your w2k forest/domain see: MS-KBQ314649_W2K3 ADPREP Command Causes Mangled Attributes in W2K Forests That Contain E2K Servers MS-KBQ325379_How to Upgrade Windows 2000 Domain Controllers to Windows Server 2003 MS-KBQ555040_Common Mistakes When Upgrade Windows 2000 Domain To Windows 2003

I have a 2000 domain with a mix of 2000 and 2003 member machines. There is an offsite where all the member machines are 2003. And I wanted to setup an alternative Domain controller at this site with what is already there. I am in the process of planning and testing the upgrade to a 2003 domain but until then I need a domain controller at this site. So would 2003 domain controller work in a 2000 domain at least temporary?
