Antonio, At the time that you decide to introduce Windows Server 2003 DCs into an existing Windows 2000 domain /forest, there is the initial requirement to upgrade the schema.
You must run adprep /forestprep and domainprep to be able to support the inclusion of a 2003 DC. However, running forestprep and domainprep is not going PREVENT any Windows 2000 functionality - until you begin to change Domain and Forest functional levels.

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?
