Thanks for the response.  I found an issue with Schema update if you have Exchange 2000.  Here is the KB Article   http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;314649   Has anyone seen this?   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of DeGrands, Charles Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2003 1:38 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Windows 2003 domain in Windows 2000   We’ve got the root 2000\ child 2003 forest running in our environment.  No issues so far.  One division was on the early adopters program, but we couldn’t get the other divisions to agree to upgrade the root.     You can upgrade the Schema with the Forestprep and Domainprep utilities that are located on the 2003 media.    From: Santhosh Sivarajan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2003 11:11 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Windows 2003 domain in Windows 2000   How you do upgrade the schema without upgrading the OS?   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Adams, Kenneth W (Ken) Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2003 1:00 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Windows 2003 domain in Windows 2000   I would think it is possible if you update the Windows 2000 schema first.  Don't know for sure as I haven't worked much with Windows Server 2003 yet.   Kenneth W.
