We currently have nothing but XP workstations, 25 ateast. I need to know if
our Server 2000 with active directory will be able to connect to the VISTA Machines. We also have some shared Drives that the WS's need to connect to. Please let me know. |

A computer running Windows Vista, just like any computer running an other version of Windows, is perfectly capable of acting as a server and being connected to. Typically, though, you would plan to connect the computers running Vista to the computer running Server 2000. You're a bit light on details here, for any real introspective answer. http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/06/background-information-useful-in.html http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/0...useful-in.html In short, though, yes, the new computers should be as capable as the current ones. But read about the issues, and be aware of the possibilities. http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/12/windows-xp-and-vista-on-lan-together.html http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/1...-together.html -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP 2005-2007 [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.
