Hi
We are approaching a switch to native mode in our Windows 2003\Exchange 2003
active directory. What we are slightly confused about is whether there is
any difference between Exchange native mode and Active directory native
mode. There seem to be different articles on it scattered across the
Internet and you appear to be able to make the switch in either ESM or AD
Domains and trusts. Do these do different things?

Also what is the difference between 'Windows 2000 native' and 'Windows
Server 2003'? Is it just the the DCs supported and the functionality listed
in the help files?

Any gotchas before we make the switch?

Cheers

Mike
