there is so such as a bdc in windows 2000 there are only domain controllers. Run the command dcpromo and select the option in join an existing domain/forest. you first/master domain controller will handle most processes until the new domain controller has to help out.

Add the second server, do the DCPROMO and in the MMC open "Active Directory Sites and Services" drill down to "Sites - Default first Site - Servers". Click the + next to the new server and go to NTDS settings, right click, select "properties" and put a check mark in the "Global Catalog" box. That will keep a copy of the GC incase the other DC fails.

Look friend, don't complicate it for yourself, there is nothing in win2k called BDC, all you have to do is all domain controllers in win2k are peer exept for some functions that have to be run on only one domain controller and this is usually the first DC thst is installed, so all you have to do after installing the server is to run the command dcpromo from start, run command and join the existing domain/tree/forest.
I recommend reading Active Directory Services for more information, you have to have strong knowledge of AD so you can manage it.Hope this will help
