Even if the Exchange 5.5 server is on a Windows 2000 Advanced Server? I just don't want things to go haywire when the PDC upgrades.
So the ADC is used if you want to use the AD features through Exchange? Kind of like the ADC (Active Directory Client) for Wind 9.x machines, right? The real question here is, I do not need to install the ADC for Exchange 5.5 this weekend? We will be upgrading Exchange next weekend and I want to be sure that I don't need anything for the guy who will be doing the upgrading this weekend.

The ADC replicates Exchange topology and user data into AD and matches up objects and attributes with objects in AD.
