I'm sorry,

domain.local is the 2000 server i want to move to newdomain.local

newdomain.local consists of 2 2003 DCs and 1 2003 Exchange server and 1 2003 member server. 4 in total all 2003.

Chatable

Are there any other computers joined to the old domain, apart from the DC? If there are you should first part them from the domain before you demote the DC - Unless there are more DCs in the old domain.
From my experience I never had problems demoting servers though I've only dealt with small domains.
