I really should focus on the MS tests as it would = more money if I ever need to look for a new job. If I want to go that direction, is TMCC a good bet?

As for why I want to move to a domain, for one (don't tell my boss), but it will be a great experience for me, personally. But I also feel like it's long overdue. We currently have 22 XP Pro workstations, 1 Windows 2000 machine (in Production), and 2 2003 Servers. We have 25 Server CAL's too so AFAIK, we wouldn't have to purchase anything additional.
Your edification is not a business justification. What business, administration or technical issues lead you to believe it is "long overdue"?

2 Servers/Domain controllers is the absolute bare minimum, though there are issues running either SQL Server or Exchange Server on Domain controllers and that should be avoided if possible. Use of Virtual Server can resolve them, but needs to be managed very carefully and introduces another layer of complexity to what sounds like a small environment.
