best of my knowledge, no.

On a side note,
Does anyone know if
they will be adding /ADV to Windows 2000 as part of the next SP? Just
curious…

RE: [ActiveDir] DCPROMO /ADV
The /ADV option
provides the ability to perform something MS refer to as "Install (DCpromo)
from media". The option requires a system state backup
taken from an existing 2003 DC in the
same domain
as the new DC. It also requires that the backup be restored to an
alternate
(extremely important) location prior to running
DCpromo /ADV (for simplicities sake, use
C:\NTDSrestore).

I'm trying to play with the new
abilities of AD2003 to burn a copy of the database to a tape or cd so that
you can restore it on to a new server at another location to save bandwidth
in replication. Thing is, the instructions i have (translated so a bit
tricky to read) say that i need to use the /ADV switch in DCPROMO, but it
doesnt seem to do anything other than the normal AD
install.
Has anyone used this feature?
Can anyone explain how the writing and restoring is meant to work and how to
actually do it ? Or can you suggest any good articles? I have tried the MS
site, but it just mentions that you can.
