Whether you rename the original file or make a copy of it and name it accordingly shouldn’t make too much of a difference, just don’t allow any changes on the 2000 server while both copies exist.

I'd be more tempted to copy the ntds.dit file to sbsntds.dit instead of renaming...if that was done right before running dcpromo on the sbs server would it be a problem?

I guess that 2008 uses 'sbsntds.dit' instead of the old 'ntds.dit' to differentiate itself from a normal non-SBS domain. Without renaming it on the old server, the new server doesn't recognize it.
