KIK,

The other mode is native mode. If you are a cautious administrator you would
leave it because there are few advantages that you will ever notice. However
since you do not have any Exchange 2000 machines there is no reason not to
change it. Choice is yours.

As an aside, generally I suggest you not click around and if you were my
client I would give you a severe warning. Basically my clients who try to
fix things on their own I counsel to look for new support. There is a reason
a professional considers what they do and then document it as the go through
the process. Clients do not document. They do not remember what they have
done and they have probably clicked twenty or thirty features for no reason
besides curiosity. Then they wonder why you can't figure out what is going
on in five minutes. Your server is a shared business resource and not a
testing ground for your curiosity.

Do yourself a big favour and don't touch your server without a good reason.
So all in all I would say you excercised good judgement in canceling out.
Good move, congratulations.

Regards,
Jeff Loucks
