Hi Charles,
I think your steps sounds good and your preparation about the reference is
plentiful. However, I'd like to provide following article for you:
Upgrades in a domain containing Windows 2000 domain controllers
<http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/library/Serv
erHelp/8b42cf90-1e72-4579-b0ad-2e2b948ce31c.mspx>
I think it is a good idea to build a lab before you peform the migration or
upgrade. If you happens to any problem, feel free to let me know. I will be
glad to be of ass assistance.
Best regards,

>>My thoughts are:
>>Extend the schema (Do all the forest and domainprep on the existing DC)
>>Build and DCPromo the new 2003 DCs
>>Allow replication
>>Transfer FSMO roles
>>Pull DNS Zone info
>>Reinstall Backup Exec and associated Hardware
>>DCPromo the old DC and shut it down
>>Go to native mode on the new DCs
