Default Vista and Server 2k SP.4

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.

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.
