We have an NT network (75 users) and are about to convert to Win2000. Should I expect any problems in doing this?

This is way too large a subject to ask in a two line question, or to answer off the cuff. It all depends on what your current setup is, and how much you know about 2000. Win2k is not just an NT 4 upgrade, it is a different product and a new way of doing things from an admin point of view - so unless you are aware of, and ready to take advantage of, the changes that win2k offers I would hold off on the upgrade. A good place to start would be to look at the curriculum - and get some study material - for exam 70-222 (migrating NT 4 to Win2k). Hope this helps...

I was actually after some information on any bugs or faults with the software, things that aren't well documented or advertised by Microsoft.

You actually have a volume of information from Tech Republic itself. Many good articles show you what you can expect. Go to the "advanced" Search feature in TechRepublic and search for "Windows 2000" in the Title and "Upgrade" in the body and you will have dozens of links to rely on.

Hope this helps

For that size network make sure you use advanced server,
make sure all, all, all your hardware is on the W2K hardware compatibility list (HCL),
check out www.microsoft.com/windows2000/guide,
there is also some helpfull files in the setuptxt folder on the windows 2000 CD.
Microsoft will send you an evaluation version of advanced server if you havent got one to read these.
i have been studing the m/s w2k official curriculum and the features of 2000 are brilliant, but i suggest you bild a system to practice on first.

hope this is some help.
