Re: Regarding Cluster server doubt.

Once you wipe your 2000 domain controller you will loose all accounts
even when you recreate them with the same names, it will not work.

What you should have is 2 DC's, then upgrade one by one, maintaining your
AD/Domain at all times.

as this is more a Server question, I am X-posting into
microsoft.public.windows.server.general
