hi giantcop,

yes can upgrade want ? 

so want upgrade current windows 2000 + sql 2000 cluster 2003/2005 ? on old hardware.
are sure want hardware old , not perform on 2000.

better fresh new hardware , build fresh new cluster , if ready copy db way can testing applications see if running correct on new domain , if copy db , turnoff old cluster.
this way there minium on downtime.

but if must upgrade old nodes, upgrade first windows 2000 2003 , see if still running.
then sql job, , domain change remember must change cluster service accounts , sql accounts. db permissions etc. there alot can go wrong !

take option 1 buy new hardware , rebuild cluster <> toc better in this. can in less 2 days.
