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

ADC is for people who want to sync Exchange 5.5 Directory with Windows =
2000 Active Directory. IMHO it is better to upgrade to Exchange 2000 right =
away. Your Exchange 5.5 has it's own Directory service and Windows 2000 has
= 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 = you
go native mode, you can't go back. So if you ever needed to an NT BDC for =
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 =
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 = 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, = am
I going to have any problem?  I'm not too sure I understand the =
consequences of switching to full native mode.

Thanks for any advise

Vince
