One of the biggest problems with NT in the corporate world is the directory services (user account database). It is a flat database and is not particularly manageable, especially when you get over about 5000 people in an organisation. The problems come with delegating admin rights to users (end up with too many admins) and with making sure the accounts database is up to date everywhere whilst maintaining fast logon times for everone.

Windows 2000 addresses these problems by basing its directory on DNS, which is a very efficient distributed database, and by allowing finer granularity when assigning admin rights. E.G. a user can have a subset of admin rights over a subset of objects, rather than the more all or nothing rights you get with NT 4.0. To take advantage of these improvements, you want to upgrade everybody in the organisation, not just the power users.
