SYMPTOMSConsider the following scenario: - On a domain controller that is running Microsoft Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 (SP1), you try to raise the domain functional level to Windows Server 2003 by using one of the following methods:
- You modify the value of the msDS-Behavior-Version attribute on the domainDNS
object.
- You use the Ldp.exe utility or the
Adsiedit.msc utility.
- The domain is not in native mode when you try to raise
the domain functional level to Windows Server 2003.
In this scenario, the operation fails, and you receive the following error messages:
SV_PROBLEM_WILL_NOT_PERFORM ERROR_DS_ILLEGAL_MOD_OPERATION Additionally, you
receive the following message in the Directory Services event log:
Active Directory could not update the functional
level of the following domain because the domain is mixed
mode. CAUSE The Schema Admins and Enterprise Admins security groups are not
configured to use the universal group scope even though the forest
functional level is set to Windows Server 2003.
Note The forest functional level is set to Windows Server 2003 when the value of the msDS-Behavior-Version attribute is set to 2.
RESOLUTIONTo resolve this problem, a domain administrator can change
the domain mode to native mode by using one of the following tools: - The Active Directory Users and
Computers snap-in
- The Active Directory Domains and Trusts snap-in
A domain administrator can also programmatically change the value of the ntMixedDomain attribute
on the domainDNS object to 0. To verify that the domain mode has been changed to native mode, determine whether the following event has been logged in the System event log: Event Type: Information
Event Source: SAM
Event ID: 16408
Description: "Domain operation mode has been changed to Native Mode. The change cannot be reversed."
