Windows2000 + Windows NT 4

My Friends

What is your opinion about the Active Directory in Mixed Mode, with a Win2000 PDC and WinNT4 BDCs?
Is this a stable configuration? Will the BDCs "see" the PDC with no problem? Are cases of problems in the Mixed Mode frequently? If I have chance, do you recomend that I transform all WinNT BDCs in Win2000 and change the Active Directory to NAtive Mode

Thank you all !!

Yes if you have the chance move to an environment and running at least
Windows 2000 Domain Controllers and rise the functional level to Native
Mode. Native mode include support for Universal groups, Nested groups, SID
History and transitive trust relationships and so on.

One of the biggest drawbacks of mixed mode is that AD's scalability is
limited to 40MB because the PDC emulator replicates changes to NT domain
controllers that inherit limited scalability by design.
