Just make sure that all references to the old (P)DC are not present in the metadata on the 2003 server, and you should be good to go. This assumes you've taken care of any ancillary things the old 2000 server was doing, such as DHCP scopes, hosting printers, etc.

Additionally, you to need to make sure you have the Active Directory, or however you were controlling other domain computer info, and all users moved. I should have mentioned that, but I was assuming you had probably already taken care of that since you knew about transferring FSMO roles. :)

Make sure you go through all the steps

Before demotion run dcdiag or netdiag to check health of DC.
