<p class="MsoNormal">our Server team is in the process of upgrading there last AD server to windows 2012 from 2003. All other AD servers are 2008r2. They say they are not upgrading the AD structure from 2003, but since this is the last server to upgrade I'm
concerned that it may upgrade the AD structure to 2008 or a mix of 2008 / 2012.<o:p></o:p></p>

AD 2003 or 2008, but if anything happens with 2012, I'm guessing I'm hosed?<o:p></o:p></p>
