too much of administrative effort, you need to set the functional level of the Fabrikam.com forest from Windows Server 2000 to Windows Server 2003.
This is because Contoso.com already runs at the functional level of Windows Server 2003. Contoso.com also contains domain controllers that run Windows Server 2008.
Forest functional level of Windows Server 2003 supports Windows Server 2008 domain controllers and Windows Server 2003 domain controllers. The forest functional level of the Contoso.com or Fabrikam.com should not be raised to Windows Server 2008 because it does not support Windows Server 2003 domain controllers.
