Primary and secondary domain controllers are for NT - they do not apply in active directory Windows 2000.
As Julian said - there are no PDC/BDCs under W2K/3 per se. Instead there are five FSMO roles including the PDC-emulator. The following is a dump of the DUMPFSMO.VBS script from the resource script. It lists the five role holders.

goto done

@echo Please provide the name of a domain controller (i.e. dumpfsmos MYDC)
@echo.
