Windows 2000 server Is fine for active directory. Advanced server is for larger scale server with more then two processors.

You can use Windows 2000 to upgrade to Windows Active Directory, advance is generaly used when you need to address more then the normal 2 Gig virtual memory assignmnts. You would also use Advanced server for other uses as well. You would only need Advanced for:
