Query-based distribution groups work reliably in the following topologies: * Exchange 2003-only environment (no Exchange servers prior to Exchange 2003) running in native mode. * Exchange 2000 Service Pack 3 (SP3) and Exchange 2003 in native mode. If you have Windows 2000 global catalog servers in this scenario, you can modify a registry key on the Exchange 2000 SP3 servers to increase reliability. This modification is covered in the next section. That comes from the Exchange 2003 admin guide. There's a whole section about how to modify your servers if you use Windows 2000 domain controllers etc. You can find the document in it's entirety at http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/library <http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/library> -----Original Message----- From: Stelley, Douglas [mailto:dstelley@xxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, October 06, 2003 11:07 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Yet another Exchange 2003 question (an easy one) http://www.MSExchange.org/ Does Exchange 2003 support rule based DL's on a Win2K Server, on a Win2K Domain? Or will I need to upgrade to Windows 2003/Domain 2003 first? -Doug ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp Exchange FAQ: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 ISA Server Resource Site: http://www.isaserver.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSExchange.org Discussion List as: al.mulnick@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub') Confidentiality Notice: The information contained in this message may be legally privileged and confidential information intended only for the use of the individual or entity named above.
