Can you add a W2K server into an existing 4.0 domain without adding the W2K server as a DC? Can you add it as a member server and not use Active Directory?

Yes you can add a W2K server into an existing NT 4.0 ddomain as member server without any problem.
I have done it, we have 3 NT 4.0 servers and 2 month ago I added a W2K server as a member server I have had no problems with it.

I didnt have problems with anything. I have a NT 4.0 DHCP server and NT 4.0 WINS server and the W2K server is using it as any other NT/win9x machine.

Absolutely. Works like a charm. We have 10+ W2k member servers in our NT 4.0 Domain. Eventually we will upgrade the Domain controllers and do AD but until then we are using a mixed network just fine.
