If you run NETDOM 2.0 from the Windows 2000 Support Tools on your PDC, you receive:

        The procedure entry point LsaEnumerateTrustedDomainsEx could not be located in the dynamic link library ADVAPI32.dll.

To add a Windows 2000 computer to your Windows NT 4.0 domain, run NETDOM 2.0 on a Windows 2000 computer that is already a domain member.
