How to raise domain and forest functional levels in Windows Server 2003: "This article describes how to raise the domain and forest functional levels that are supported by Microsoft Windows Server 2003 domain controllers. Functional levels are an extension of the mixed/native mode concept introduced in Microsoft Windows 2000 to activate new Active Directory features after all the domain controllers in the domain or forest are running the Windows Server 2003 operating system. When a computer that is running Windows Server 2003 is installed and promoted to a domain controller, new Active Directory features are activated by the Windows Server 2003 operating system over its Windows 2000 counterparts. Additional Active Directory features are available when all domain controllers in a domain or forest are running Windows Server 2003 and the administrator activates the corresponding functional level in the domain or forest.
