You should not be able to install a 2003 backend in an administrative group where you have 2000 front ends. You should be able to install a 2003 front-end in an administrative group where there are other 2000 front-ends.   ‘ function returns true if an error occurred ‘ isFrontEnd, a byref variable, contains the answer to the question   Function isFrontEndServer (ByVal strAdministrativeGroupName, _                            ByVal strServerName, _                            ByVal strOrganizationDN, _                            ByRef isFrontEnd)             Dim objContainer             Dim strConnString               On Error Resume Next               isFrontEndServer = False                         strConnString = "LDAP://CN=" & strServerName & _                         ",CN=Servers,CN=" & strAdministrativeGroupName & _                         ",CN=Administrative Groups," & strOrganizationDN               Set objContainer = GetObject (strConnString)             If Err.Number Then                         isFrontEndServer = True                         Exit Function             End if               isFrontEnd = CBool (objContainer.Get ("serverRole"))               Set objContainer = Nothing End Function   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Kern Sent: Tuesday, December 20, 2005 8:53 AM To: activedirectory Subject: [ActiveDir] exchange 2k3 install(OT)   If i run setup for exchange 2k3 in a domain with a exchange 2k FE server will that be enough to stop the setup on exchange 2k3?   I can see that it checks for the existance of a FE server and i know exchange 2k can't be a front end for a exchange 2k3 backend but i didn't know that was a deal breaker for set up to stop.   Also, does anyone know of the name of attrib in AD that setup checks to determine if a server is a FE?
