Greetings,

We are in the process of adding a connection agreement for ex5.5 and AD. I am using the exchange 2003 aggreement wizard. Would it be best to upgrade the domain to native mode? All but one domain controller are 2003 the loaner is 2000sp4. Will the clients still be able to access their email prior to the CA. All clients are XP or 2000 and have the .net framework installed.

Thank you in advance,

For the purposes of what you want to do, the status of the Windows
Mode isn't an issue. I'd leave it in mixed until i'd ditched my last
5.5 server, for no other reason than my having a yellow belly. You can
then go to 2003 native.
