We recently upgraded all of our DCs to Server 2008. Our mail server is Exchange 2003. If we start pushing our forest level up to 2008 will this cause any known issues with the exchange server? It is server 2003 SP2.

Might want to ask this question in Exchange forum for definitive answers. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvrgeneral/threadsI do not represent the organisation I work for, all the opinions expressed here are my own.

I will do that. Thank you.

As far as i know there wont be any issues :)Regards, Nidhin.CK

Hi, Exchange Server 2003 is not supported in Active Directory environments whose domain/forest functional levels have been raised beyond Windows Server 2003. However, Exchange Server 2003 SP2 is supported against Windows Server 2008 Active Directory servers.

Hi, Regarding the Exchange related questions, wed better ask in the Exchange forum. Santosh has provided the Exchange forum link for us. By the way, we could refer to the following article at this time. The table identifies the Active Directory environments with which each version of Exchange can communicate, it may be useful to us.
