Switching to Native mode -- documentation ?

[Mulan]

We would like to switch our mixed mode Win2k3 single-domain AD to native
mode.

Are any pitfalls to be avoided? Any links to good/helpful documentation on
this subject?

Thanks a lot.

As long as you don't have any NT 4.0 BDCs on the domain go ahead.

No down time, no reboot, users don't notice.

Any problem with say, our Exchange 2000 server, if we go ahead and switch to
native mode?

We're trying to avoid surprises.

Thanks.

FFL.... for that you can get a hotfix

What is 'linked value replication' and how will it affect us (please pardon
the ignorance) if it's not working ?

Also make sure you have enough GCs -- in native
mode they are generally required for logon.

You should have had them anyway, but in native
mode it is most critical.
