Install 2003 on my 2000 AD domain

Hello:

I currently have a Windows 2000 Active Directory network. I have plans to
upgrade my network to Windows 2003 in the next 6 months, but I have not done
any testing yet. All of my DC's are W2K SP4. In about 2 weeks I will be
at a remote office to replace an old malfunction server. I would like to
install Window 2003 AD on it and join it to the domain as a DC. I am not
sure if this is possible with out cause issues on my W2K AD. Should I just
stick with 2000 until I have a full plan to deploy?
