What is the difference between windows 2000 native mode and mixed mode?
The Mixed mode is for networks that have Windows 98/ME in addition to Windows 2000/XP/2003 clients. Mixed mode requires the RAC (Remote Application Client) to be installed for proper communication with the clients. The Native modeis for networks that consist only of Windows 2000/XP/2003 clients. The CMS server communicates natively with the clients using Windows networking features that aren't available in 98/ME clients. The RAC program is not needed. If you have no or few 98/ME clients, choose this option.
