forest level RRS feed

  • Question

  • Hi 
    does the Forest level need to be at Windows 2003 native mode for OCSR2? 
    Also for OCS 2007 is it enough to have the Windows 2003 forest level at Windows 2000 level? 
    thanks

  •  Hi Satpal,
    Those settings are for OCS 2007 I was looking for OCS 2007 R2. I have done some research and it looks like Windows 2003 AD must be 2003 native.
    Thanks for reply

  • Hi Celtic,

    Minimum requirement to implement OCS 2007 are 

    • Domain controllers run Microsoft Windows® 2000 Server SP4 (Service Pack 4), Microsoft Windows Server® 2003 SP1, or Windows Server 2003 R2 or later operating systems. (Windows Server 2003 R2 is recommended).
    • Global catalog servers run Windows 2000 Server SP4, Windows Server 2003 SP1, or Windows Server 2003 R2 or later. (Windows Server 2003 R2 is recommended).
    • All domains in which you deploy Office Communications Server use Windows 2000 Server native mode or later operating system. You cannot deploy Office Communications Server in a mixed mode domain.

    There is no harm if your domain dunctional level is windows 2000 native
