New domain

I have a client that has been running 2 separate domains (same subnet). An
NT4 domain and a W2K3 domain. All clients have been added to the W2k3
domain. The NT domain now consists of a PDC, a BDC and 2 SQL 2000 servers
running W2k. My plan is to simply downlevel (remove from NT domain add to
workgroup) 2 SQL servers and then add them to to W2K3 domain. This would
render PDC and BDC with out use and we could do whatever with them. I am
wondering if this will cause any issues with SQL servers that I am not
forseeing. Insights very much appreciated.I cannot see any problems switching domain belonging as long as you dont
rename the SQL servers hostnames. You might also want to keep an eye on
which account is running the SQL services.
