I will assume since you say it a stand-alone server, its not part of an NT4 domain.
If this is the case you can just pop in the Win2K CD and let it upgrade. Make sure you have the latest drivers for your hardware and Win2k.
The account database will be upgraded intact along with the OS.
If this machine is a domain controller, it needs to be the PDC, and you need to be prepared to install and configure DNS (if it not already on the network and meets the min requirements) before upgrading theserver.

I agree with answer 1...they are right on the money! However, one point to make, make sure you have a backup before you start.
