Current level is 2003.
So all you need is one 2003R2 server to sync with. If it was replaced by 2008 to bring the domain level to 2008 (even though the forest is 2003), then that's hard to come back from. The 2008 level domain features require Server 2008, and I'm sure the protocols/interchange are still being reverse engineered. Hence why if your forest is 2003, then there's no reason you can't have a 2003 domain with a 2003R2 server. -- Bryan J Smith Senior Consultant Red Hat, Inc Professional Consulting http://www.redhat.com/consulting mailto:[email protected] +1 (407) 489-7013 (Mobile) mailto:[email protected] (Blackberry/Red Hat-External) -------------------------------------------------------- You already know Red Hat as the entity dedicated to 100% no-IP-strings-attached, community software development.
