Switching to native mode will not affect your NT servers (non BDCs) or MSMQ.
The switch to native mode simply effects domain controllers. Once you make
the switch to native, a number of new features and improvements in the way
Active Directory works come into play which are not backward compatible,
therefore the DCs cannot (and will not) replicate with any downstream DCs or
BDCs.

This change has no effect on client workstations or member servers. It
simply effects what DCs you can have.
