I'm about to raise my domain to the 2008 domain functional level. &nbsp;i have read some articles so it seems pretty straight forward.<br />
one quick question though.<br />
<br />
i have a trust relationship with another domain. &nbsp;we are not part of the same forest. &nbsp;will raising to a 2008 functional level mess with my trust relationship at all. &nbsp;the reason i ask is because one time we broke the trust and it was a real bad time trying to reestablish it.<br />
also...<br />
any other pitfalls i should be aware of?
