We have 9 NT 4.0 servers in a single Domain with Exchange 5.5. We want to install a W2K server. Preferablly in the same Domain due to Exch 5.5 authentication. What different ways are there to do this with minimal disruption to 800+ users.

Just make the 2000 Server a member server of your NT domain. It can join the domain and all security permissions on your domain will apply (except if you are using Policy Editor). YOu can assign NT domain accounts security rights to the 2000 machine.
Now, do NOT try to upgrade the 2000 machine to be a Domain Controller since you run a NT4 domain. That is the only thing you can't do.
But yes, your 2000 server can be a member server of a NT4 domain.
