Rasing Exchange 2000 standard to native mode

in my production environment I have a primary DC which is Windows 2000
server hosting DNS, DHCP and Active Directory, and one Exchange 2000 Standard
on a sperate server part of the same forest. I do have one NT 4.0 in the same
forest as my Exchange 2000 server.

My Development environment Primary DC is on NT 4.0 server and they just have
two way trust with Windows 2000 DC.

I also have other development domains which are only Windows 2000 servers.

My Questions is: Does rasing Exchange 2000 standard server level to native
mode raises Windows 2000 servers to native mode?

Any help is much Appreciated.

Thanks

No - native/mixed in Exchange doesn't have anything to do with native/mixed
in AD.
