Hi Mark,
Thanks for your post.
>From your description, I understand that you would like to split the
windows 2000 server from the existing SBS 2003 domain. If I'm off base,
please let me know.
If you want to let the machines that disconnected from SBS be able to
access the window 2000 server, you need to promote the window 2000 server
to domain controller and configure it as global catalog as well.
To promote the server to a domain controller:
a. Open Start and select Run.
b. Type DCPROMO and click OK
c. Click Next 2 times
d. In the Domain Controller Type, select "Additional Domain Controller for
an existing domain", click Next.
e. Provide the Domain Administrator's credentials and click Next.
f. Provide the Fully Qualified Domain Name for the Active Directory domain
namespace you are trying to join. For example, CONTOSO.LOCAL. If in doubt,
you can click Browse to select the proper domain. After typing in or
selecting the domain, click Next.
g. Accept the defaults for the Database and Log Folders. Click Next.
h. Accept the defaults for the Shared System Volume. If you need to change
it you will need to point it to an NTFS volume. Click Next.
i. Provide the Directory Services Restore Mode Administrator Password. This
is the password you would use in Directory Services Restore Mode or when
using the Recovery Console. After providing the password twice, click Next
to continue.
j. Click Next in the Summary screen to start the process. The process may
take several minutes.
k. Click Finish to complete the dcpromo and select Restart Now.
l. After the reboot, log on to the SBS server. The server should be a
Domain Controller. To Confirm that:
i. Open a Command Prompt
ii. Type Gettype on the command prompt followed by enter/return
iii. The output of that command should show the Role as Domain Controller
To create additional global catalog servers, you need to perform these
actions manually.
How to Create a New Global Catalog on the Destination Global Catalog Server
============================================================
To create a new global catalog:
1. On the domain controller where you want the new global catalog, start
the Active Directory Sites and Services snap-in. To start the snap-in,
click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then
click "Active Directory Sites and Services".
2. In the console tree, double-click Sites, and then double-click
<sitename>.
3. Double-click Servers, click your domain controller, right-click NTDS
Settings, and then click Properties.
4. On the General tab, click to select the "Global catalog" check box to
assign the role of global catalog to this server.
5. Restart the domain controller.
NOTE: Allow sufficient time for the account and the schema information to
replicate to the new global catalog server (the window 2000 server). By
default, the replication will be performed every 15 minutes.

Hope this helps.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to let me know. I am glad
to be of assistance.
