Guest guv Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 I am running a native windows 2000 forest. It has 2 windows 2000 native domains. In the first domain we have mostly all windows 2003 Domain controllers, but still have 2 windows 2000 Domain controllers. In our second domain we have only 2 windows 2000 domain controllers. I want to raise the functional level of the domain to windows 2003 native domain and then the forest. Can i do this with my current setup. I know I have some windows 2000 Domain Controllers but raising it to windows 2003 means you cannot introduce any more windows 2000 DC but the existing ones can still operate in a windows 2003 native mode. Is this correct

Guest guv Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Re: raising to windows 2003 Native Mode Thanks for the links but it does not answer the key question which is if you have to raise the domain to a windows 2003 native mode can the w2000 DC still work as DC, I know you cannot introduce anymore w2000 DC, but what about the existing w2000 DC, how would they operate.
