We don't have anything that authenticates outside of windows. But the root is not empty, the 'home office' uses it. So there are users and computers in that domain. But it sounds like I should see any issues.

For example, a while back there was a VERY popular NAS device that "broke" when you went Native in AD: it had issues with Kerberos authentication. (BTW: no, I'm not going to mention it by name b/c I haven't had coffee yet and don't remember AND I would hope they fixed it by now) Just make sure that anything that authenticates is going to be OK with your new functional level. Check non-MS OS's and hardware and apps. That "caution" aside, you shouldn't run into too many problems, and assuming your "root" is basically empty the odds of you running into problems are low. Just research and test first, as any consultant is bound to say!

Does anyone see any issue if the root domain goes domain native but stays mixed mode forest?
