I IM'd with Dean about this and found the DCR where we took this. Then
confirmed the checkin...SP3 is the first SP that adds it.

By golly you're right! (As expected.) Thanks.

A member of the Exchange team referred me to this KB

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=324941

I've also asked for KB 304403 to be corrected.

Thanks again,

It is indeed dynamically enabled though I've not put that to the test.
I believe it was first fixed in Windows 2000 SP3, review -

<ears prick up>

NSPI startup/shutdown without a reboot was addressed in w2k3? Can you
point me toward any additional information? I had not come across that
factoid.

Thanks.

Only sort of wrong, there's a particular interface (NSPI/Named Service
Provider Interface) exposed by GCs that is used by Exchange.  This
interface wasn't exposed on new GCs until they had been rebooted (that
has been addressed for 2K3), the other aspects of the GC take effect
according to something known as the "occupancy level".

In the event I've misunderstood and you are actually asking what happens
if you click-it-on and then straight back off again ... well, that
depends on a few other clicks but I don't really think that's what you
wanted to know.

Whats the effect of just checking and unchecking the GC box on the NTDS
object in AD Sites and Services without a reboot?

I don't think it has any affect at all. I thought for a GC to be demoted
or promoted, you need a reboot in win2k sp4?
Am I wrong?
thanks
