We are running SP4, yes. Good to know the change methodology we used was OK. > A reboot will be enough.

I will make note of those other steps (didn't know about the "remove netlogon.dns" step) Yeah, I can't wait to move off of Win2000. Once we get to Win2003, we'll have the fun of trying to rename the NetBIOS name of our domain (which you can't do in Win2000). Once that's fixed, then we move to Win2008 R2. And once we demote this DC (this is the "weird" DC we were emailing about last week), we should be ready to do the Win2003 upgrade. My replications seem to all be working now, and we changed the domain level to "Win2000 Native". Once I demote this DC, it won't be failing the DCDIAG tests anymore, and we should be good to go.
