Active Directory Functional Levels#
In Windows Servers Active Directory, domain controllers can run different versions of Windows Server operating systems versions. The Active Directory Functional Levels of a domain or forest depends on which versions of Windows Server operating systems are running on the domain controllers in the domain or forest. The Active Directory Functional Levels or forest controls which advanced features are available in the domain or forest.Microsoft Active Directory Cool Things#
