Native Mode / Mixed Mode
|

| Denis Cooper 2003-12-12, 7:25 am |
| Hi,
Please can someone explain the difference between native and mixed mode
domains?
Is it that Native mode only supports Win2K and mixed mode supports previous
OS or other OS such as Unix / Netware? - Also if this is the case, does
WinXP get classed as a Win2k and there connects to a Win2K Native mode
domain.
Are there any advantages between the two modes?
Thanks in advance...

| The mixed mode is to do with domain controllers not workstations. Basically
if you only have a 2k server only you should use Native. However if you have
a BDC running NT you need to run in mixed mode so they can talk to each
other properly.

| Native Mode means that there can not be any more account replication between
W2K and NT4.0 bdc's and therefore only W2K computers [or W2003] can be
domain controllers. The advantage is that the user accounts number can now
be much larger and universal groups can now be used. Global catalog servers
now play a critical role in authentication and users except administrators
can be blocked from logging onto the domain if one can not be found during
the logon process. If W9X or NT4.0 workstations are still be used, then wins
still plays an important part in the domain. --- Steve
