At a conference I was told that a Windows 2000 server could be placed in a
exisiting Windows NT domain, without using active directory. If this is so,
what am I missing by not using active directory?

The short answer is Active Directory, while the longer and fairly
accurate answer is Windows 2000.
Not to be terse, but the list is long. Existing in a NT 4 domain
environment, instead of a Windows 2000 one, effectively disables use
of many features: Group Policy centralization, Installation management
services, numerous advanced networking capabilities, extended scale,
are a few key attractors.
One small contribution toward your very large question.

Actually, the networking services and the wbem/cim management
instrumentation are pretty industry vanilla, and I would venture to say
more advanced then one will find in a number of other OSs without
paying the extra bucks.
