    Domain 2000 and 2003 mixed

    In the above environment i have  stand alone windows 2000 server with exchange 2000;     (not a DC)

    Will that support my migration to windows 2008 domain?

    Do i have to install any other AD tools for exchange as well?

    thank you
    Ling

    Hello,

  • Exchange 2000 Server Service Pack 3 can exist in an Active Directory forest that contains Windows Server 2008 directory servers, but Windows Server 2008 directory servers should not be installed in Active Directory Sites that contain Exchange 2000 Server.
  • If Windows Server 2008 directory servers must be deployed Active Directory Sites that contain Exchange 2000 Server you must first hard-code directory service access (DSAccess) on the Exchange 2000 Server servers in the site to point to directory servers running Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000 Server.
