Hi,

I know for a fact that there are no implications from mixing different 
client and server platforms. Everything that passes the wire is neatly 
serialized.

As for your server upgrade, I have no idea, really. Perhaps your 
database will need some kind of conversion? I admittedly have no 
knowledge of AD whatsoever.
