Prevent Windows 2000 from joining 2003 native mode domain


hello all,

i'm looking documented method of preventing legacy windows clients (windows 2000, maybe xp sp1) joining native mode 2003 domain.  we in process of upgrading our domain 2008 not option @ time.  our administrators pre-populate accounts new computers via aducs before joining, , change domain membership.  sometimes delegate permissions join if end-user remote.  i looking method still allow them process, give error when computer membership changed.  i going write script periodically deletes computer account of un-allowed systems, isn't graceful , can cause complications @ user level.

any advice appreciated.

hi neil,
