You
should not be able to install a 2003 backend in an administrative group where
you have 2000 front ends. You should be able to install a 2003 front-end in an
administrative group where there are other 2000 front-ends.

Subject: [ActiveDir] exchange 2k3 install(OT)



If i run setup for exchange 2k3 in a domain with a exchange
2k FE server will that be enough to stop the setup on exchange 2k3?



I can see that it checks for the existance of a FE server
and i know exchange 2k can't be a front end for a exchange 2k3 backend but i
didn't know that was a deal breaker for set up to stop.



Also, does anyone know of the name of attrib in AD that
setup checks to determine if a server is a FE?

Thanks
