Backward Compatibility

I’m upgrading a WinNT domain to a Win2003 domain. The current NT domain has
a mixture of Win2000 Servers and Advanced Servers in it. Will the Win2000
Servers and Advanced Servers be compatible in the new Win2003 domain?

Yes, but it won't be a "Windows Server 2003" forest and domain functional level.

See
