Not when adding the first 2008+ DC but when removing the last pre-2008+ DC and 
upping the DFL or FFL to 2008+.  Some infrastructure devices can't handle the 
AES-256 encryption for AD Integration.  All the issues I have seen have been 
resolved by switching the affected device to use LDAP instead of AD.

Subject: Standing up 2K8DC - finally. Opinions?

So, the slow waters here finally have us standing up our first W2K8 DC in our 
employee domain on Saturday.


*         We have already extended the schema

*         Have already gone through this list: 
http://blogs.technet.com/b/glennl/archive/2009/08/21/w2k3-to-w2k8-active-directory-upgrade-considerations.aspx

*         We have GPO's that already implement the LM Hash, older cryptology 
and the SMB-signing change, some others on that list don't apply.

*         We have confirmed with Microsoft (they were here a few months ago) 
that our AD infrastructure is healthy and configured as they'd recommend.

*         Exchange is hosted, not onsite

I think this will be a no-brainer upgrade, but I am still going to have folks 
text VPN, Windows, Linux and Mac client logins and file accesses. Has anyone 
ever seen a crippling issue when adding the first 2008 DC to their 2003 domain?
