 Hello All,

   I have a domain that currently has simple passwords for the user accounts. We are going to be changing them, but i would like to upgrade to 2003 AD before hand. It also has a trust to a another domian.

 My question is ,

  What happens to the trust when we upgrade.
  Are the users with the simple password allowed to log into the network after the 2003 AD upgrade ?
