Upgrading WinNT LAN to Win2K

I am looking for tips on upgrading my WinNT network to Win2K. A buddy of mine told me a good way to start this process is to connect the new Win2K Server box to the network and run DCPROMO. He told me the Win2K server will demote my current PDC and take over the role as PDC, along with migrating all user and security settings over. Does this sound like a good plan? I have toyed with Win2K server a bit, but I am still learning how it runs. Is there anything I should know before trying this? How should I initially setup Win2K server? When I run DCPROMO, will that automatically create the domain forest in active directory? So many questions, I know... but I want to be comfortable when I do this. Moving up from NT is a big step! :)
 
You might be better off posting in the NT or 2k server forums.
 
My apologies. I should have dug a little deeper to find the Win2K server forum. Thank you :)
