Domain issues for server 2003/2000

I have 2 servers, one is windows server 2003 and the other is 2000, what i am trying to do is get them both on the same domain but the problem is, they both have to have active directory users and computers on them so that i can lock out certain files and give permissions to people, is it possible to make server 2003 run off 2000's domain and also be a file server? if so, how do i make it so they are both on the same domain? please explain simply cause i'm not used to doing this kind of thing. Thank you.

yes but it's set as a domain controller somehow and setting to another domain wont work just like that, i need to set it as not a domain controller but have the abilities of one or so it seems cause i need to use active directory and be able to give permissions to other users.

I want them to be the same domain but i want to be able to set permissions on both computers. I.e. use active directory on both but have them on one domain.
