The "easiest" way to move to AD is to just upgrade your pdc. In your case
with the new hw, you'd install one of those boxes as an nt4 bdc, promote it
to pdc, and then upgrade to 2k. You can also create a "new" win2k domain,
set up trust/s between that 2k domain and your nt domain, and then use
ADMTv2 to migrate to the 2k domain. The upgrade route is the
quickest/easiest though I believe. However I'd encourage you to read up on
the info from the following links if you haven't already, as 2k is a bit
different from nt.

note; there is a ton of info on the web site that covers just about anything
you'd need.
