Hi Deji, Yes, it is true. If the FFL is set to W2K3, then that means that all CURRENT and FUTURE domains will be at DFL W2K3. If that was not the case and you would be able to introduce a domain with DFL W2K native then it would also be possible to introuce W2K DCs. And that is impossible in FFL W2K3. If you look at: MS-KBQ322692 (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;322692) it says that FFL W2K3 only supports W2K3 DCs. To enforce that at domain level the DFL must be W2K3 also. Is this the answer you are looking for? Cheers, Jorge

I don't remember reading this in any of the materials I've seen to date. Is it true that after flipping the Forest Functional Level to Windows 2003, any subsequent domain added to the Forest after the flip will default to DFL 2003? This appears to be the case in my tests, and I am wondering if I am doing something wrong. If this is correct, does anyone have any material discussing this behavior - or know why this is so? Of course, I am aware of the requirements to "get to" FFL 2003. I am just looking for a discussion/documentation of the restriction (if any) of introducing new domains into that environment.
