I will add to the replies already given.  Is your BIND server the
master?  I assume so, as you allow W2k DCs to update it.  The NS
entry must have come (I believe) from the administrator who 
originally defined the zone and set up the zone data file.  The W2k
DCs will only attempt at registering "A" records and SRV records;
the DCs will not register an NS record, as far as I know.

You say that you need to an NS record.  Can you tell us the entire
set of NS records in the zone, and tell us which one you want
removed?  Does the NS record you want removed point to the DC?
This additional information will aid us in tracking down the source
of your NS record.
