Cross forest permissions with 2003 server.

I'm doing a forest migration with a mix of 2008 and 2003 servers to new 2016 servers.

 

When a migrated user is accessing a 2008 or newer server share located in the old domain, all is well.

When a migrated user is accessing a share on the 2003 server, access fails.

 

sidhistory is enabled and verified, along with sidhistory filter quarntineing being disabled.

  

I realize 2003 is not officially supported. Just wondering if this is known not work of if there is a possible workaround.

 

Thank you

    Hi 

    windows server 2016 will not support the windows server 2003 functionalities .

    Please perform the functionalities test before migrating.

    Migrating from lower or to higher can only support  as >2 versions or <2 versions. Please refer the below link for your reference.
