Thanks. We'll let you know when a new response is added.

Active Directory services is better known as AD or AD DS (Active Directory Domain Services) for Server 2008, but getting on to the question, you need to configure network routes to each subnet, and add each subnet to the Subnets folder in Active Directory Sites and Services.

You can either use static routes or a spanning tree like EIGRP or RIP.

ADS is an acronym for many things. It would help if you clarified your question or at least what you mean by ADS.

Are you sure about this "add each subnet to the Subnets folder in Active Directory Sites and Services." since this netwrok is not directly connected to the ad 2000 server and it is routed one.

Yes, though that part isn't as critical. If routing is working, make sure you are using the Domain Controller as your DNS server for all of your clients. If you still have issues, more detail on your network design and error messages will help us isolate the issue so we can give you a better response.
