[ActiveDIR] OT: Windows 2003 Forest Functional Level 2 while running Exchange 2000


Hello,
I was wondering if anyone had any experience with changing their Windows 2003 Forest Functional Level to 2 (Windows Server forest level) while running Exchange 2000 (post SP3)? I've found some documentation stating the Exchange 2000 recipient update service does not replicate changes successfully in forest functional level 2 in a 2003 Active Directory. From what I've read the best practice is to leave the Forest Functional Level on 0 (mixed level forest) until the Exchange 2000 server has been migrated to Exchange 2003. Any input is much appreciated.

I *thought* the behavior of that was modified by a patch/or service pack, but it's been a long time. RUS is notoriously picky and fragile, but I don't recall this being a stopping point. Exchange 2000 was certainly even more fragile. Upgrading would be in your best interest regardless.
Have a look at the readme files for Windows server 2003 and you might want to call Microsoft to get it from the horse's mouth. So to speak. :)On 11/22/06,
