Hi. We have a 220 server 3700 user network across 40 sites. We have just
replaced all of our servers with Windows 2003 Servers in a Windows 2000 Mixed
Mode domain - all working well. DNS, DHCP, WINS all working well.

We are in the middle of upgrading our desktops from NT4 SP6a to XP SP2, but
it will take us another couple of months to get done. We want to take
advantage of some of the enhancements available in Exchange 2003 in Native
Mode.

What problems are we likely to encounter with the NT4 workstations if we
change the Domain to W2003 native Mode? We do not want to install the
DSClient on our NT4 workstations as we are working to replace them.

Can you tell me what problems we might encounter?

Hope it helps

We may encounter lots of problems if we don't install DSClient,therefore,
please installed it.

Hope it helps.
