In Windows 2000 domains, all domain controllers act as peers, with all members containing the AD services database with equal read/write privileges similar. Determine whether to create a new domain in a new forest, a new domain in an existing forest, or to add a domain controller to an existing domain to Windows Server 2003 and 2008. But if you mix Windows 2000 with Windows Server
2003 and 2008 domain controllers in the same forest, they will operate as if they are all Windows 2000 domain controllers, and several of the AD improvements in Windows Server 2003 and 2008 will not be available. When all Windows 2000 domain controllers
have been upgraded to Windows Server 2003 or 2008, the functionality level can be advanced to the newer version, providing access to all the new features.
