Wrap your NT4 BDC in plastic and stick it in storage in case of emergencies. Use the addusers.exe program (In the support tools) to spit your users out into a CSV. Then re-import them into your new (built from clean) Windows 2000 server. Promote the 2000 box to a DC. You can just upgrade the NT4 PDC but it's not great doing it that way. Causes niggles later on.
