2003 - can I go native ?

G

Guest

I have 6 domain controllers all running Windows 2003 in mixed mode. I run
Exchange 5.5 with NO active directory connector. We will be going Exchange
2003 soon which means (I hope) I have to add the active directory connector
to Exchange 5.5 if I want to slowly migrate. So in its current state and
knowing whats ahead, can I switch Windows 2003 AD to native mode?

Cheers

So long as you have no NT or Windows 2000 domain controllers you can switch
to native mode.

I would agree but also add you can't have your RUS or ADC running on a Exchange
2000. You aren't using Exchange 2000 here but I wanted to add that in case
someone in the future googles and finds this solution.
