Hi - I see in the documentation that for the SCDPM2010 one of the requirements is that you are running 2008 DCs. Am I correct in thinking that you cannot have any 2003 DCs and that you must be running in 2008 native mode?

That is an Operating System requirement not Active Directory.

This was the bit I found in the "DPMv3Deployment_Pre-Release.doc" document (page 3) - "DPM 2010 must be deployed on a 64-bit server within a Windows Server 2008 Active Directory domain. The domain controllers must be running Windows Server 2008."

        Thanks for bringing this into our focus. This is not a requirement, 
it should have been "Windows Server 2008 also supported", we will fix this 
in our documentation.

Thanks,
