Member server is one of the available options.

However, once the upgrade is done, if it is a DC, then just run dcpromo and demote it back down to a member server.

The Primary and Backup domain controller role is only supported by WinNT 4.0
You must first migrate to Active Directory (a whole project) and then reinstall NT as win2000 member server.

Re: need to update windows nt 4.0 to windows 2000 server
That was the good part. The next is not so great. Windows 2000 can NOT act as a BDC in a NT4 domain. If you need a new machine in your existing domain you will need to load NT4 on it to ran as a BDC.
UPGRADING FROM NT4 TO A W2K DOMAIN IS NOT TRIVIAL!!! It is clear in your post that you are far from ready to do this. There is significant planning involved and it is clear that you have lots of reading and studying to do first. There are also many hardware and network capacity issues involved.
I would suggest that it may be time to get a consultant or a VAR in there who is well versed with the upgrade process to help you out. It will not be quick or inexpensive. But I'm sure that it will be less expensive to do it right the first time instead of over again.
