Sure you can upgrade the PDC, you just need to stay in Mixed mode.

Have consistently been helped on this list, wish I could help others out,
but...

I have four Win2K servers. I have two NT4s: a PDC and a BDC. 

The way I understand it, I cannot upgrade the PDC to Win2K without upgrading
the BDC as well. The BDC has a program on it which (I am told) will not run
under 2000. It is an accounting package, older, and the accounting
deapartment does not want to talk about changing it. For many reasons I need
to finish my upgrade, cannot degrade the BDC any further. I need the PDC box
to be Win2K so I can move all the printers so I can make the printer server
my new file server. (I know, it's getting more complicated. But I don't like
the BDC and hate to promote it alone on the network.)

I guess I could add another NT4 server. Is my only other way out to
re-install the accounting package to another standalone NT4 box? (I hate to
think about screwing this up, it runs over an old proprietary SQL 6.1.) Any
other options anyone can think of?
