You've put 4.0 thorugh a test environment right?
Option 1: Won't work. PS4 has a different DS schema than older versions
Options 2: Once your install a PS4 server into an existing farm the
DS is automatically upgraded (whether the PS4 is the DS server or not
in regards to access/MSDE). The only way back is to restore the DS
from before the installation.
Option 3: Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Good
luck with that one.
Test test test test test environment!!!!
