Are there any known issues migrating from windows 2000 Acitve Directory to 2003 Active Directory, for example the enhanced security features in Server 2003

Thanks in advance

Hi,

The most common hickup seems to be that complex passwords is enforced by
default. You must either use complex passwords, or relax the requirement in
GPO.

Also, Windows 95 clients must either have DSClient installed, or you must
not require SMB signing (which is now required by default with W2k3).

I can't think if anything else.
