Migrating to Windows 2000 and need some tips

We have got an issue with application we need to install urgently that requires us to upgrade to Windows 2000 server. This means I will need to migrate the domain. I just want to sanity check my migration plans and hopefully get some tips on how to make it go smoothly.

We have got an issue with application we need to install urgently that requires us to upgrade to Windows 2000 server. This means I will need to migrate the domain. I just want to sanity check my migration plans and hopefully get some tips on how to make it go smoothly.
 
I detailed our environment below:
 
We have one small domain with 1 PDC and 1 BDC. The PDC is a file server/print server and database frontend. The BDC runs exchange 5.5 on NT4 SP6a.
We also have a standalone NT4 server which is a domain member to our domain.
 
My plan is to migrate the PDC to W2000 server running it in mixed mode. I want to leave the migration of the BDC/Exchange server until later. I am concerned that this upgrade may effect the domain account access to mailboxes on my exchange 5.5 server.
 
Thanks

What application is this that requires a 2000 Domain? Exchange 2000?
