One domain in your Forest should be Win2k Native Mode (or W2k3 Native Mode).
This means no more nt4 BDCs in a domain and hitting the windows switch.
This is necessary for Store to use Universal groups as permissions in Public
Folders. See KB
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;274046&Product=exch2003
You can proceed with the domain in mixed mode realizing that there may be
problems with the public folder ACLs. These are logged to the application
log by the Store Service. The problems would appear as Exchange Clients
either access resources they should be denied in the public folders, or
failing to access public folder resources that they have permissions from
the group.
