active directory in 2003 vs 2008
Ok I started my Windows admin 2 class a couple weeks ago and we are learning active directory using server 2003, however we weren't given a copy for home use, we do everything in class. However, I obtained a copy of 2008 via dreamspark(its legal, and my school is listed) and I would like to re-lab some of the stuff at home, would the steps and for the most part be the same? I guess I can ask about r2 as well, since I can also get that via dreamspark

The things youre learning are probably supported on 2008. Some things have new names I guess. At the core I cant say that AD has changed that much, other than adding in more features. -

The core theories and practices are much the same. The installation methods and administrative tools have changed a bit between the two but still pretty close.
Make sure you know the differences in the functional levels and how to find your way around each one and you'll be ok.
