You are correct. Active Directory is a database, and the schema versions
have changed with the updates from NT4-compatible domains to
2003-native domains.
he's trying to give as complete a picture as possible of the way file
sharing is handling security on his network; the 2003-native domain also
implies that he's using IP (instead of IPX or netbeui; not likely but
possible).
