Tranfering FSMO roles to 2008 DC
When I transfer the FSMO roles from our 2000 DC to a new 2008 DC will the clients automatically find the new roles location ?
Just like arnold said as long as the DC see itself has the fsmo role holder and the other DCs see this as well this will not affect the clients.
There are a couple of things to think about is make sure you change your DHCP server to now point to the Windows 2008 Server for primary DNS.
Make sure you setup the Windows 2008 Server to an external time source since this server will now run the time sync for the whole domain

So when the clients need authentication for the domain do they send out broadcasts looking for an answer ?
Is there a group policy to change the static clients dns pointer ?
Schema master should be transfered before any of the other roles ?

I.e. the cliens see DC1 and DC2 they do not really care which has which role (make sure the Global Catalogue (GC) is set on the 2008 prior to FSMO role transfer as well as the schema master. Just to be sure that you have those roles transferred/set to avoid trouble down the line when you decomission the windows 2000 DC.
