Chriss,

In addition to the wealth of information that you have provided, there is
one thing that *could* become a problem for kingpin if they do the clients
first: the upgraded clients will authenticate only against the "PDC".
Please look at the following MSKB Article:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;284937

It talks about WIN2000 clients in a Mixed Mode environment.

HTH,

Cary
