Title: [ActiveDir] Changing to Native mode and running AdPrep

The domain functional level may not matter but the forest functional level can have side affects.

I'm assuming that I need to switch to native mode before running Adprep on the Win2k DC. Is this correct and if so will the server need to be rebooted after this?    Also, after running Adprep on the Win2k DC, will this change the way that clients(WinXP Pro, Win2k Pro and Win98) login to the domain (will anything have to be changed on the clients)?
