I have no clue how ABE and DFS interact but on a normal file server it’s a server feature. I think they added it in SP1 for 2003.

I’m trying to get ABE working with DFS, and have discovered the domain functional level must be at WS08 minimum (amongst other things, including namespace migrations). So, besides not being able to run a WS03 DC in WS08 functional mode or both WS03 and WS08 DCs in WS08 R2 functional mode, is there anything else that is LOST functionality? I’m finding a lot of articles on how-to and what you can gain, but I want to make sure we won’t miss anything important that is in use. Still searching, but if you have any links or first-hand knowledge, I would appreciate it as it’s been many years since we’ve had to raise levels for a feature. We are also running: Exchange 2007 SP3 Sharepoint 2007 SP2 SCCM 2007 (R2 I think, can find out if it matters) Thanks, -Bonnie ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
