Should not be a problem at all.  You only need to stay in Mixed Mode if you have NT4 DCs which you don't.  External trusts will still work also.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Mixed Exchange and Mixed AD Modes

Hi, this is a (hopefully) quick question that I have not had much luck researching.

 

We're running Exchange 5.5 and Exchange 2000. Our domain is in Mixed mode.

 

We have a business need to go to Native mode very soon, maybe even today.

 

We have no more NT4 DC's, although we do have two-way trusts with several NT4 domains.

 

Question: Will flipping the switch to Native mode negatively impact our Exchange site and/or any trust relationships?

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks,
