But how is it then
after I performed an Authorative Restore of the entire database of the child
domain I can go back to the snap in and it tells me I am back in Mixed
Mode and I can add a Nt4 BDC to the domain.
And all of this works
no problems.
Very
confused.

You can't back out once you make the
change to native mode, it is permanent.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Domain Native
Mode
Our company is in
the process of deploying E2K3 into our environment.
After some
understanding of the product is that we would require the domain to be in at
least W2K Native Mode.
Enough said we have
started a process of informing all people about this move but the powers that
be want me to provide a answer around the
following:
§ Risk involved with
the mode change
§ Back-out procedure
(I honestly believe that if you go that far than stay with new change and work
with the problems and resolve)
§ Lab environment
testing the
back out
procedure.
So I decided to test
this rollback in the lab
Built the
following:
§ Empty
Root
§ Child Domain (switch
mode)
What I did was I
kept an existing NT4 BDC then switched the mode I went through the logs and
made a few changes on the PDC Emulator and the changes were synchronized with
the PDC Emulator.
What baffles me is
the fact that MS says that all communications break after the
switch.
Will this problem
only appear after a few days or should it be appearing
immediately???
Using ADSI Edit I
searched on the domain partition to note the value after the change and I
picked up an attribute called
ntMixed Domain:
0
The value prior to
the change was 1 and moved to 0
Am I correct in
saying that the information is held on the
Domain Partition?
Should I be
restoring the entire forest or just the domain in specific to go back to Mixed
Mode?
Guys please bear
with my questions as they are all far and in between
but
it's either this or
Hotdog Stand which
I was told to put up
if this change is not successful.
And I don't think I am cut
out for a Hotdog stand yet ...grin
grin...
Thanks again in
advance
Yusuf
