Hi,

Thanks for posting!

>From your description, I still cannot make clear about your concerns.
Please help me know the following information:

1. If you was upgrading the offline PDC?

2. How did you in-place upgrade PDC to 2k3 without AD?

3. Does the PDC emulation mode you mention is pointed in the following
article Q298713?

 Here please let me provide you with the following article for your
reference:

Regarding emulation mode, please refer to the following article:
