Can W2K server be a BDC?

Our PDC is NT. The BBC was rebuilt and W2K server
installed. So we just have one PDC and no BDC on the
network! Can one of theW2K server act as DBC?

Thanks for any advice

No.

If you upgrade the PDC to Windows 2000 and leave the domain in mixed mode
then other NT4 BDC's can talk to the W2K "PDC".

No. A W2K server that you want to use as a domain
controller will try to install Active Directory(AD) when
you try to promote it. AD is multi-master. There are no
PDC's or BDC's in the AD domain structure. However, once
you install the 2k server you can use your current PDC as
a BDC in a mixed mode environment.
