Correct.  There are some additional Exchange attributes that need to be
replicated between AD and the Exchange 5.5 directory before you upgrade
to Exchange 2000.  There is a doc from Microsoft called the 6-step Case
Scenario to Upgrading Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2000.  It should either
be on the Exchange site or the Technet site.

For just E5.5 you don't need it... But if you want to Migrate to E2k =
then you will need to have it installed.

Joe,

now I'm a little confused. I run AD domain in mixed mode with Exchange =
5.5. Why should I need ADC other then merging my Directories?

Thanks for the answer,

Pav

Joe,

Thanks for the clarification. I was trying to figure out a way to see if
= I can install without ADC.  You just answered my question.

You need the ADC regardless.

Vince, the ADC prefers Native Mode as it will convert the DLs to =3D =
Universal Groups.  Universal Groups are only supported in Native mode.
=3D = However, it will work in mixed-mode, but there will be limitations
(like =3D you = can't assign permission with the converted groups).  You
most likely =3D have = to delete them and recreate them as Global
Groups.

ADC is for people who want to sync Exchange 5.5 Directory with Windows =
=3D 2000 Active Directory. IMHO it is better to upgrade to Exchange 2000
= right =3D away. Your Exchange 5.5 has it's own Directory service and
Windows 2000 = has =3D its own too. I think you do not need ADC at all.

I was thinking about leaving it at mixed but according to the text about
ADC,  I should at least have a native mode domain. Any comment?

Yes.  If you demote your BDCs you can switch to native mode, but once =
=3D you go native mode, you can't go back. So if you ever needed to an
NT BDC = for =3D some reason, you'd be SOL.  The extra benefits of
native mode are few = and far between unless you have a rather large
multi-domain setup (from what = =3D I've read).  So I just leave it
mixed "just in case".

Can I demote the bdc to a member server?

You can't go to native mode if you have any BDC's on your network still.

I think I finally got my Active Directory up and running but it is =3D =
running in mixed mode.  I still have 2 BDC running and one of the BDC is
also running Exchange 5.5.  If I change my Domain controller to native
mode, = =3D am I going to have any problem?  I'm not too sure I
understand the =3D consequences of switching to full native mode.

Thanks for any advise

Vince
