Forest and Domain Functional Levels

Functional levels determine the available Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain or forest capabilities. They also determine which Windows Server operating systems you can run on domain controllers in the domain or forest. However, functional levels do not affect which operating systems you can run on workstations and member servers that are joined to the domain or forest.

When you deploy AD DS, set the domain and forest functional levels to the highest value that your environment can support. This way, you can use as many AD DS features as possible. When you deploy a new forest, you are prompted to set the forest functional level, and then set the domain functional level. You can set the domain functional level to a value that is higher than the forest functional level, but you cannot set the domain functional level to a value that is lower than the forest functional level.

With the end of life of Windows Server 2003, 2008, and 2008 R2, these domain controllers (DCs) need to be updated to Windows Server 2012, 2012 R2, 2016, 2019, or 2022. As with any server, domain controllers (DCs) running on an unsupported version of Windows Server should be removed from the domain and replaced with a version of Windows Server that is supported. For more information, see Windows Server release information.

At the Windows Server 2008 and higher domain functional levels, Distributed File Service (DFS) Replication is used to replicate SYSVOL folder contents between domain controllers. If you create a new domain at the Windows Server 2008 domain functional level or higher, DFS Replication is automatically used to replicate SYSVOL. If you created the domain at a lower functional level, you will need to migrate from using FRS to DFS replication for SYSVOL. For migration steps, you can either follow the procedures on TechNet or you can refer to the Streamlined Migration of FRS to DFSR SYSVOL blog. Windows Server 2016 is the last Windows Server release that includes FRS.

There have been no new forest or domain functional levels added since Windows Server 2016. Later operating system versions can and should be used for domain controllers, however they use Windows Server 2016 as the most recent functional levels.

                Windows Server 2008 domain functional level features

                • All of the default AD DS features, all of the features from the Windows Server 2003 domain functional level, and the following features are available:
                  • Distributed File System (DFS) replication support for the Windows Server 2003 System Volume (SYSVOL)
                    • DFS replication support provides more robust and detailed replication of SYSVOL contents.

                    Note Beginning with Windows Server 2012 R2, File Replication Service (FRS) is deprecated. A new domain that is created on a domain controller that runs at least Windows Server 2012 R2 must be set to the Windows Server 2008 domain functional level or higher.

                    Note Authentication errors may occur on a domain controller after the domain functional level is raised to Windows Server 2008 or higher if the domain controller has already replicated the DFL change but has not yet refreshed the krbtgt password. In this case, a restart of the KDC service on the domain controller will trigger an in-memory refresh of the new krbtgt password and resolve related authentication errors.

                    • The total number of failed logon attempts at a domain-joined Windows Server 2008 server or a Windows Vista workstation
