You are confusing 2 separate issues. Exchange 2003 DOES run just fine in a Windows 2000 environment, BUT you cannot take full advantage of all of the new features. One of these new features is RPC/HTTP(S). It may not require you to upgrade ALL of your DC/GC's to Windows 2003, but as Andy said, whichever servers Exchange and Outlook are using must be Windows 2003. Unless you statically set the server Outlook and Exchange is going to use, what is the use of just upgrading one server?

I have a number of clients running it with W2000 AD with no issues. -----Original Message----- From: David, Andy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 02, 2004 3:16 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Remote connection options Since the GC/DC used by the E2003 server and Outlook 2003 clients requires Windows 2003 Server, why would you not want to upgrade the 2000 Server DC as well? Note that RPC/HTTP functionality does exist in Windows 2000, but cant be used in this manner. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Erick Thompson Sent: Friday, July 02, 2004 3:44 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Remote connection options I was reading through the MS deployment guide, and it said that you need Windows Server 2003 on global catalog server. This is an AD function, is it not? My DC is running Windows 2000 server, so does this rule RPC via HTTPS out?
