I have a Windows 2000 Server enviornment setup with 2 W2K Server domain
controllers running in mixed mode. I want to change to Native mode. I
tried doing it on my test servers, and it's a very straight forward
procedure. But how can I test that after I have made the change things are
working right. Just because everything seems to work, doesn't mean it is
working. Might run into problems later on, which are not visible right now.

I have searched, but cannot find any detailed information about Mixed and
Native mode. They all talk about the benefits of it and how to actually do
it. But none of them talk about the details, what it changes, and how to
test that things are working right.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You.
