Native Mode for Domain Controllers

[GeorgeTuk]

Hi all,

I am looking to install Exchange 2007 into my environment where there is an existing Exchange 2003 server and both 2003 Server Domain Controllers and 2000 Server Domain Controllers.

What do I need to do to make the domain "native"? It is currently in mixed mode and I realise it needs to be Native but unsure whether this can be done with Windows 2000 domain controllers.

Any help much appreciated as always.

Thanks

George

DCPromo the 2000 boxes to make them member servers. You can't go 2003 Native with 2000 in the mix. You can go native with both 2003 and 2008 though.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Regards,

Mark
