Going to native Windows 2003 AD does not impact your non Windows 200X or NT member servers. You have to have all DC's running Windows 2003. Todd Lemmiksoo

Nothing NT4 aside from one legacy application member server serving an Oracle database and some file sharing for a renegade (i.e. separately funded, politically protected) department. If we move to native, is this NT4 server still going to be contactable/alive/working? I can't see anything on the web other than concern about W2K clients that will have issues (e.g. group policy) in the absence of W2K DC's (which we have anyway). Does NTLM Authentication disappear, thus so does the NT4 server? Excuse the rather old-hat nature of this question, I haven't been party to infrastructure AD stuff for long, I guess we haven't changed over yet because it's never been needed that badly.
