Right, the salient point here is that it is not the forest that has mixed/native mode associated with it, it is the domain that has a functionality level tied in.
Until 2k03 there is no concept of forest functional level, and then in 2k03 we don't called it mixed vs. native, it is either 0 (nt4, 2k or 2k03 DCs), 1 (nt4 or 2k03 DCs, aka 2k03 interim mode) or 2 (2k03 DCs only, aka 2003 forest functional level). ~Eric -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joe Sent: Thursday, May 27, 2004 6:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] silly question It is a global group until the root domain goes to native mode. Ditto for the schema admins group. Functionality lost would be that you couldn't place users from any domain other than the root into the group until you go native. joe -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kern, Tom Sent: Thursday, May 27, 2004 6:10 PM To: ActiveDir (E-mail) Subject: [ActiveDir] silly question If you cannot have universal security groups in a mixed mode AD forest, how is the Enterprise Admins a universal security group and what functionality does it lose in mixed mode as opposed to native mode?
