Our network consosts of a Proliant server running Windown Server 2003.
Each of our 30 workstations are running Windowx XL exept one new PV, which is running Vista Home Premium. When I try to connect, it tells me "the operating service oin the connecting PC is newer than the OS of the server. Please see your network administrator" I am the network administrator and I have no clue how to fix this. Any ideas? |

In order to use domain resources, you can create the user account/password on the server. Home Premium can't cache passwords (just like XP Home can't), so credentials will need to be entered each time the workstation connects. Second, I believe there are patches that need to be installed on the server to enable it to work with Vista workstations. Go to Windows Update for your server and see what you need. If none of that works (or is what you're looking for), try posting in one of the server newsgroups: http://aumha.org/nntp.htm - list of MS newsgroups Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!"
