Why can you not introduce a 2003 server into a 2008 domain?

Hello,
So we are going to be upgrading our domain very shortly from 2003 to 2008 R2. I know that we are not able to have a 2003 server in the 2008 forest, but the question is why? I'm trying to find some information on Google but can't actually find the reason.
I have some ideas as to why, but I wanted some solid info, if possible.
Thank you!

In that case it depends on current functional level. If you're at 2008 or greater then you would not be able to bring in a 2003 DC.

    Why can you not resolve an app purchase  problem simply ! As you have done in the past

    Most of the people on these forums, including myself, are fellow users - you're not talking to iTunes Support here.
    If you have a problem with an app that the developer can't/won't help you with then you will need to contact iTunes Support, either as described on the page that you posted from, or via the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that app and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem

    Find it quite ridiculous that a 3 year old mba supports it and not a new iMac

    Agreed.  Why wouldn't you want your Photostream updated while your iMac is sleeping?  I am bummed about this.

  • Using iTunes why can you not backup and save your voicemail?  Guide me through this step by step if possible.  If alternate method MUST be used then provide same.  Truly appreciate this.

    Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes - Apple Support  - link doesn't state that voicemail is part of the backup
    iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview  states that VVM is part of the icloud backup.
    You can also contact your cell phone provider - as voicemail is a carrier feature.

  • Why can you NOT get a straight forward answer on upgrading to Edge?

    On Saturday morning I called customer care with a SIMPLE question about how the Edge Program works. The lady I spoke with gave me information that didn't make sense and told me one of my lines could move to edge and the other could only after 6 months of on-time payments. That didn't make sense to me, how could one be eligible and not the other when the explanation of WHEN would be eligible is contingent upon 6 months payments. I was so irritated I started shopping at other carriers to see what their "Edge" like programs work like and was considering switching carriers. So, I called back and spoke with another guy to find out what my ETF's were and he informed me that I COULD upgrade both lines to a Note 4 for about $5 above what my bill is a mo. each with all of the discounts applied. I told him that I would go to a Verizon store and probably upgrade instead of cancelling. So, I went to the store and was treated TERRIBLY!! I was told that I could not move both of my lines to the edge program with the Note 4. I was told I could move to Edge with both lines but one would have to be a Droid and the other could be whatever phone I wanted. I was blown away with yet another piece of information that was not matching up with what I was told. He said I could call customer care and see if they could do anything. I was BLOWN away that a corporate Verizon store would just turn me away (which was extremely demeaning and embarrassing in front of their other customers) to call customer care again and tell me my best option would be to cancel if I wanted a new phone for the line I wanted to upgrade. So, I called customer care again and spoke with another lady who correctly informed me (I think) of how it works and stated there was nothing she could do on the line that was not eligible which should have been told in the previous conversation with the guy I spoke with. One thing struck me as odd, she said the phone is on a lease with Edge so the phone is never yours, which is something NO ONE mentioned at any point in any prior conversation. So, is that true? I now know where I stand with upgrading but my original questions about how Edge works are still not fully answered and what the last rep stated brings up other questions. If it's "leased" what happens if it's broken or lost? Anyway, I was looking for what I thought was a straight forward answer to a question about how Edge works, how much it costs, and are my lines eligible, etc. and wasted a good hour on the phone and another two driving to a store just to get turned away like as though no one even cared! The last lady I spoke with seemed to care but I'm blown away with the TERRIBLE customer service and COMPLETE lack of ownership. Why can no one take the feedback and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT and then answer my questions about the Edge program. Bottom line, I'm not looking for a freebie upgrade (though maybe I should for all of the time wasted due to incorrect/inaccurate information). but I'm blown away that no one wants to do anything.
    That all being said, can someone on here explain how Edge works with the discounts and is the phone really a "leased" phone? Pretty sad that I'm resorting to forums to ask other customers how it works but would appreciate any info anyone can share. I'm probably going to port both of my numbers to AT&T if it is true they are a lease and due to all of the terrible customer service.

    I just saw in another post that if it's an "early" edge I would have to turn in the phones. No one told me that either and now I wonder if just forget Edge and port out. What's the advantage of doing Edge with all this confusion and red tape? Is an early edge considered early if you're upgrading with Edge prior to the contract end on the current phone? Verizon Customer Care and Stores REALLY NEED to be up front about this stuff! From what I see here and what others are going through Edge is a TERRIBLE TERRIBLE program.

  • Why can you not have the same Siri voice used in the US version in the UK and Global search should be available

    I have just recently purchased the new iPhone 4s and it is great.
    I am now using Siri a lot,however I don’t like the fact that in the UK only the man's voice is available.
    I think we should have a choice of a Lady / a man assistant and not just a man who's voice is the same/ very similar to the one used for voice control on the iPhone 4.
    Now that we all know that Siri is useless without an internet connection then why only allow Siri to search for items, businesses, addresses etc only in the country you’re in i.e. the UK.
    Where if you just go onto the internet or use the built in maps application you can search anything you   self without restriction.
    I think Apple should really consider thinkingabout this in there next software update for the iPhone 4s.

  • Why can you not upload a pdf file to the cloud?

    Other online storage services allow PDF files to be uploaded; but not iCloud. Why not?

    You can do it with Air Doc as I've already said, there's an app for the mobile device and an application in the MAS for the MAC.
    As I posted to you already, as far as I can see Air Doc only lets you upload to the iCloud from iOS, not OS X.  I'd would welcome instructions about how to make it upload from OS X if you know how.

  • TS4002 Why am I unable to log onto my iCloud? Why can it not connect to the server?

    I have tried numerous times to log in and check my emails but keep getting a window pop up saying that it cannot connect to the 'server'. I have checked on the support page and it says that the iCloud has no reported issues.
    Please help!

    Hello there, amy_1505.
    It seems like you were referred to us from the Knowledge Base article below:
    iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Mail
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4002
    This is the best troubleshooting guide for the error message you’re seeing. Be sure to try all of these steps if you still get the error:
    If you can't access iCloud Mail at iCloud.com
    Make sure that you're using a supported browser and that your browser is up to date: Choose Software Update from the Apple () menu and install any available Safari updates, as well as any security and OS X updates. Instructions for updating other browsers should be available from the built-in or online help for those browsers.
    If your iCloud Mail issue occurs only when using a particular browser, try clearing that browser's cache:
    Safari 6 or later: Choose Reset Safari from the Safari menu, then select the "Clear history" checkbox and click Reset. Or choose Develop > Empty Caches (if you don't have a Develop menu, choose Safari > Preferences, click the Advanced icon, then select the “Show Develop menu in menu bar” checkbox).
    Safari 5 and earlier: Choose Empty Cache from the Safari menu.
    Other browsers: instructions should be available from the built-in or online help for the browser.
    If you're having issues accessing iCloud Mail from one location or Internet connection but not another, contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or network administrator. Some Internet configurations intentionally or unintentionally prevent access to certain websites or services, such as iCloud Mail.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • HT204053 Why can you not change a @me email account inside my Apple ID?

    I have an iphone 4S and access the cloud from a standard lap top and a standard desktop (not apple) and get confused with the other feeds, and I do not want an alias.
    I simply want to use the same Apple ID and I just simply want to delete the @me email account associated with it and start a new one.
    Is this possible? If not, as I beleive the case, why not?

    Open a new account and stop using the old one, you cannot delete the account but you can ignore it.

  • Why can you not fix your mistake???

    I am so upset and disappointed with Verizon customer service right now!!!!
    I had an email about upgrading my son's device early for free to the iphone 5c 32gb. I tried to apply it online on Saturday, 8/23/14, around 9/10am. It would not work online and said that the offer could not be validated online. So, I chatted with an agent on the website (Judy) I believe her name was. I explained everything to her and what not, at the end, she told me that I would need to call Verizon. I called and was on hold on and off for about 30 minutes while the lady checked with her supervisor to put in the order, she asked me what color and checked to ensure it was in stock, she verified my home address as shipping, explained that I would have to pay the $30 activation fee on my next bill and told me that the phone would be shipped in 1-2 business days. Here today is Thursday and I had not received the phone. I call Verizon, the first time, someone hung up on me. The second time, I spoke to a guy and he "cold" transferred me to another person, where I had to explain everything again. She told me that I was supposed to accept terms and conditions and since I was already on the phone with her, that she could transfer me to some automated line where I could put my son's number in and follow prompts. When I put the number in, it went to activation of the line instead, I pressed the button for his phone number and it transferred me to someone else. This person, was very polite, just want to put that out there. She then explained to me that they stopped the promotion on Friday and that she could see in notes where I did speak to someone and that she went over the $30 activation and all that stuff even had the color of the phone on the notes and that she had a supervisor approval, BUT she didn't order the phone!!!!!  So, the only option, based on the supervisor, was that they could graciously offer me an early upgrade for $99.99. So, I asked to be escalated to the supervisor. She informed me that it would be a 20 minute wait and that she would be in and out while I was waiting. The supervisor, believe his name was Richard, kept stating that he didn't understand how I could feel like they owe me anything because they show the promotion closed early and that all he could do was the $99.99. During our conversation, I had to repeat myself many times because he wanted to "make sure he understood me", He also explained to me that if he couldn't finish a sentence without being interrupted, that he would end the call (now mind you, been on the phone for an hour and a half, had not cussed YET, trying to be patient and hoping they would resolve this. He was a jerk. Not because he couldn't fix the problem, though I am not happy because of that, but the entire time, his voice was very cold, as if it did not matter to him whether I left and went to another cell phone carrier and it was more important for him to contradict me about one of the comments I made about being able to upgrade online, where he felt he needed to say that I could only upgrade early through calling them. I love Verizon service and coverage, but if you guys cannot fix this issue ( I did request to hear from his supervisor (which of course will take 24-48 hours), then I will go with someone who has worse coverage but will fix the problem when they are wrong!!!!!

    Ok, so you are saying that it is okay to go thru the ordering process with someone and tell them the phone is in stock and give you one price but then not actually order the phone and not tell you, so you then have to call back and go thru 3 reps before anyone even tells you? Original end date for the promotion is tomorrow.  When I spoke to the rep last Saturday she even told me the phones were in stock. Why should I have to pay a different price when I went thru the ordering process and was quoted at only having the $30 activation fee because they stopped something and didn't tell me and they have all of this in the notes!!

  • Why can you not buy all songs as a ring tone but can buy the whole song? I have an app to get them but don't know how to get them to tones !

    Why cant I buy a single song for a ring tone but can buy the whole song? I have two that I got with an ap on my phone but it was transferred to my e mail and i don't know how to get it on my phone as a ring tone !

    Because not all songs are licensed (by the label) to be used as a ringtone.

  • HT5848 Why can you not have a station that only plays the specific artist?

    I'll make a Jack Johnson radio station and I practically never hear his songs. Is there a way too make it so it only plays the chosen artist's songs?

    That's just not how iTunes Radio is designed. It's like Pandora or Spotify's Radio feature, where you specify the type of music you want to listen to, but you can't choose the specific artist, album or song you want to listen to. My guess is that the licensing Apple has obtained from the record companies woudn't allow that, but you can use the Feedback pages to comment to Apple if you wish.

  • Why can you not buy different packages?

    As a former customer of Adobe I decided to leave because I felt that the prices were grossly inflated.
    I wish to have Photoshop, Illustrator and Dreamweaver
    I don't want all the rest of the software that is offered in Cloud and certainly don't want to have to pay way over £40 a month for this.
    The photoshop/lightroom package is good but why not consider other packages.
    What do others think?

    I agree completely, I was shocked by the monthly increase, the programs are not user friendly and try to get someone on line to help you - well that is a joke.
    I cancelled my CC due to lack of customer support and ridiculous price gouging. 
    Now my Photoshop CS6 won't open.... GGGG what next?
    From what I am reading it is not an easy process to unistall CC from your computer and migrate photos from CC to CS6 - really!

  • HT201342 Why can you not use your iCloud account as your apple ID?

    ??

    This answer is probably the most popular one on the forum.  But apparently, this is a view not shared by virtually anyone else in the industry.  You can pretty much point to the same risks at stake for Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, or what-have-you.  No one else requires you to use a primary account other than their own. 
    The predicament you mentioned could easily be resolved by requiring multiple contact numbers and addresses, which Apple kind of does already.
    My thinking is there's either something more 'sinister' at play, or Apple just haven't really took the time to think about this issue.
