RE: [ActiveDir] Mixed Exchange and Mixed AD Modes

[Rich Milburn]

Title: Message

Make a last check that you don’t have any older software that might be doing authentication that looks for an NT PDC, and that you don’t have any strange stuff that must be run on a DC.  I’ve seen a security admin package break when I switched to Native mode – native mode changes the security model for the domain and can sometimes break poorly written apps that do old-style authentication against NT.  Sorry I’m not being more specific on that, but I can’t recall the specifics of what changes as quickly as someone else here could probably point it out (please do people J ).  If you don’t have this concern either then I don’t know of any other issues you’d have.

Our domain is in Mixed mode.   We have a business need to go to Native mode very soon, maybe even today.   We have no more NT4 DC's, although we do have two-way trusts with several NT4 domains.   Question: Will flipping the switch to Native mode negatively impact our Exchange site and/or any trust relationships?   Any advice would be greatly appreciated!   Thanks,   -Jbl     -------APPLEBEE'S INTERNATIONAL, INC.
