native to mixed mode ???


i'm performing migrating windows 2000 2003. have 4 domains
domain - (root forest), domain -b(child of a, 2000 native mode), domain -c(child of a,2000 native mode), domain-d(child of a, in mixed mode.
migration stratergy objects domain c & d moved b , later domain c & d decomissioned.the ad infrastrcuture has windows 2000 dcs , there no nt 4.0 pdc/bdc. know risk,

1) there risk of raising domain functional level of domain d mixed 2000 native.
2) ms state there no revert native mixed, in situation have though of few restoration option , want views on it
 > option#1 server hosting ad service, dns,dhcp , file services. first stopping inbound&outbound replication domain d , wait 48 hours check if servers in domain d functioning fine once confirmed enable replication.
>option#2 restart dc in restore mode, assume in ad restore mode ad services down still dns,dhcp , file services fucntion.
> option#3 restore entire forest.

thanks

long aren't supporting nt4.0 dcs , don't plan on adding moving mixed 2000 native in domain fine.  you'll need raised move forward migration.
