After you set the domain functional level to a certain value in Windows Server 2008 R2, you
cannot roll back or lower the domain functional level, with one exception: when you raise the
domain functional level to Windows Server 2008 R2 and if the forest functional level is
Windows Server 2008 or lower, you have the option of rolling the domain functional level
back to Windows Server 2008. You can lower the domain functional level only from Windows
Server 2008 R2 to Windows Server 2008. If the domain functional level is set to Windows
Server 2008 R2, it cannot be rolled back, for example, to Windows Server 2003.
