I am trying to setup 2 sites. In the first site, I will need to upgrade win200 domain to SBS2003. The second site I want to install a DC to replicate from SBS2003. Is that scenario possible? Can I install another DC in the first site? Can I install win2000 DC in the second site to replicate from SBS2003 in the first? will win2000 function withen SBS2003 environment?

yes provided that the site is a subdomain of the SBS2003 root domain. Depending upon the roll of the DC at the site and how your domain structure is setup you can either have the zone in the same contigious namespace as the root domain or make a new zone for it. To link the 2 sites, use Active Directory Sites and Services.

ooops!!! Correction here: yes you can do what you want to provided that the sites are within the same domain as the SBS root. you can have Atlanta, New York, Chicago "Sites" but those sites can not be in their own domain.

note domains are security boundries and thats how MS distigushes between the SBS version and standard version. you can have sites within the same domain.
