Well, one problem you may get is public folder access. If you use DLs in 5.5 for public folder access (not unreasonable to assume so) then note that the ADC is hard coded to create UDGs in AD based on the DLs. When people then access the public folders, the E2k store.exe process will try to convert the UDGs to USGs, but this will fail since USGs can only exist in native mode domains.

Mixed will be fine. -----Original Message----- From: Jesse Rink [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 10, 2002 3:09 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Upgrade to Exchange 2000 from 5.5.. Native Mode? When I upgrade my Exchange 5.5 server to Exchange 2000... Am I required to have my domain running in Native Mode? Microsoft's white paper states this to be the case but I haven't heard this anywhere else. My domain is still running in Mixed Mode. Thanks.
