Don't forget to upgrade the schema.

This is how I did mine.
1) AD Forest prep
2) Domain Prep
3) AD domain prep /GPO
4) Make sure all DC replicated successfully! ( I waited a day)
5) Depromo DC-1 than upgraded it to W23K (This of course also removed
the W2K AD tools *not compatible w/W3K*)
6) Dcpromo DC-1 again. Now I have W2K & W3K domain controllers in the
forest.
7) After a few days of no reported issues I transferred all AD roles
(5) to the W3K DC.
8) Dcpromo DC-2 and upgraded it to W3K and so on. I could have just
removed the W2K AD tools and upgraded the DC straight to W3K, but I
wanted to do a stand-alone upgrade.
I maintained at least two DCs in the forest at all time. Before all
the steps above don't forget to back up the system states of all DCs.

Thanks James and Chris
Essentially does this mean that I would have upgraded the domain to a
2003
configuration?
