I actually don't have an Exchange server in the domain. The Win2k3 server that we are going to join the domain will have a new install of Exchange2k3. Does this still apply?

The domain functional level may not matter but the forest functional level can have side affects. See KB 831809

No, you can continue to operate in mixed mode and still run adprep.
You only need to be in mixed mode if you have NT4 BDCs ... the functional level of the domain & forest doesn't affect the operation of your clients from a user standpoint...

We are planning on introducing a Win2k3 server(this at some point will become a Exchange2k3 machine) to our domain which consists of one Win2k DC that everyone uses to login to the domain. I'm assuming that I need to switch to native mode before running Adprep on the Win2k DC. Is this correct and if so will the server need to be rebooted after this? Also, after running Adprep on the Win2k DC, will this change the way that clients(WinXP Pro, Win2k Pro and Win98) login to the domain (will anything have to be changed on the clients)?
Thanks, Alonzo
