RE: [ActiveDir] Mixed mode

Title: Message

Just to extend on it! The support of both modes is required as an NT 4.0 domain that joins a AD Forest does so initially in Mixed mode to allow the ongoing support of the NT 4.0 BDC's still on the network. it is also required to ensure that you do not immediately lose services such as RAS through permissions conflict. In a mixed of modes based Forest the implications are that a domain that is in Mixed mode if there are still NT 4.0 BDC's then clients will not be able to access resources in other domains where the Transitive trust relationship is required (Explicit trusts can overcome this). Also a domain in mixed mode does not support the SIDHistory attribute and as such cannot have users migrated into it while retaining access to existing resources of the original account. So with that in  certain circumstances the support of both during a migration phase would be desirable (unless using third party migration tools such as Fastlane).   Cheers   David   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of William Lefkovics Sent: Thursday, 4 April 2002 9:24 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Mixed mode No we wouldn't have. ;o)   William -----Original Message----- From: Joe Sargent [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2002 7:23 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Mixed mode I spoke too quick.  I learned something today.  Thanks for not flaming me.  I am on an Exchange list that would have burnt me for this one.   Thanks, Joe S. -----Original Message----- From: David M Ha [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2002 9:57 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Mixed mode Rachui is correct.  Native mode is domain-specific not forest. -----Original Message----- From: Rachui, Scott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2002 8:51 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Mixed mode Actually, I don't think that's true.  You can change the mode of a single domain from mixed to native, but this doesn't force a change in other domains.  In fact, I've added child domains to a native parent domain, and have had to go back and manually change to mode to native mode.  So I think I'm right in saying that the mode (native vs. mixed) is specific to the domain versus the entire forest. -----Original Message----- From: Joe Sargent [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2002 8:52 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Mixed mode Nope.  Once in native mode the whole forest must be native.  Only other forest can be mixed and connected via trust. -----Original Message----- From: Brian Pietrewicz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2002 9:27 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] Mixed mode Hello everyone,   If you have a root domain in native mode, can you add a child to that root domain in mixed mode?   Thanks,   Brian Pietrewicz --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
