FAT32 is limited to 4 GB files. Files on NTFS can be up to 2 terabytes in size. Another advantage WIndows 2000 would have with NTFS is the support of file permissions. File permissions can stop different accounts from modifying files and folders that don't belong to them. FAT32 does not support file permissions, leaving users free to view,modify, or delete each other's files.

How do you convert an NTFS drive to FAT or FAT32 in Windows Server 2008?

Windows doesn't provide any tools for converting an NTFS volume to FAT or FAT32. You will have to copy the files on the volume to another location and then format the drive. Note that FAT32 is a much more limited file system than NTFS, and there is probably no advantage to doing so on a server.
