thanks
you can run dc's in domain in mixed (windows 2003,2008,2008 r2)mode, not give benefit until upgrade dfl/ffl either 2008 or 2008 r2. few features available in windows 2008 r2 ad recycle bin, branchcache(needs win7), automatic spn management etc. windows 2008 dfl/ffl can have different password policy in single domain, dfsr, offline domain join etc.
for raising dfl/ffl need dc's in appropriate version dfl of windows 2008 dc's should running on windows 2008 , above member server can run on version of os. dfl/ffl affects dc not member servers. raising ffl 2008 r2 domain needs running dc's windows 2008 r2 os, if single domain in forest running @ least 1 2003 os dc, can't raise ffl 2008 r2.
dfl/ffl technical reference
