Windows Server 2008 - Are there any child domain DC OS level dependencies on root domain OS levels? In other words, can a child domain bring up a Server 2008 DC without the root DCs being at 2008? Any comments on mixing Windows 2003/Windows 2008 domain controllers either within a domain or throughout the forest? TIA! Mike Thommes

Yes. You need to do forestprep and the relevant domainprep/rodcprep though first. --brian On Tue, Apr 29, 2008 at 10:07 AM, Thommes, Michael M. <MThommes@anl.gov> wrote: > Windows Server 2008 - Are there any child domain DC OS level dependencieson root domain OS levels? > In other words, can a child domain bring up a Server 2008 DC without the > root DCs being at 2008?

Well, to answer the question posed, the answer is no, actually. There is no OS dependency. Instead there is a dependency upon adprep. :-) neil ________________________________ From: ActiveDir-owner@mail.activedir.org [mailto:ActiveDir-owner@mail.activedir.org] On Behalf Of Brian Desmond Sent: 29 April 2008 15:15 To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] child DC OS level dependent on root DC OS level?
