The only thing I've seen in a mixed environment such as this, is to be very
careful on which Admin pack tool I use to adminster which service or
component, since they are very different in some cases, such as the DNS
snapin, ADUC snap-in, Exshange System Manager snap-in, etc.

You'll need to verify which admin tool you are using to administer which
operating system.
