2003 DC in 2000 AD

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.active_directory (More info?)

I would like to know if I can install a WIN2003 server as a DC in a Win2000
domain without extending the Schema or changing any roles on my current
win2000 Native mode domain?

We are replacing server hadware in a european office, and would like to use
a WIN2003 server as a DC.The nework currently has Exchaneg 2000 installed,
and will be upgraded to win2003 within a few months.We do not want to upgrade
the domain to win200 at this stage.

From what I have found on TechNet, it suggest that this is not possible, but
any help would be usefull.

If you want to introduce w2k3 DCs you must extend the schema!
