[CENTER][COLOR=Red][SIZE=4]This is not a Windows 2003 **vs **Windows XP thread.
[/SIZE][/COLOR][LEFT]Ok… As people know im into the whole roaming user thing but this might be the first achual useful topic i make!
So. i just got Microsoft Windows 2003 froom my fathers work, And i wanted to know if The 2003 Server is compatible with XP? like domain prefrences and the log on menu were you select a domain you wish to connect to…
The Server (for testing a laptop) will be using 2003 Server Edition SP1,
The Client (for all purposes) will be using XP Pro Edition SP2,

[COLOR=YellowGreen]**SP - Service Pack
2003 is still very much supported by Microsoft so everything should work flawlessly between the two. If you find something thats not compatible i will be shocked… and then link you to the patch.
If they client is got XP pro then it will connect fine, if it just XP home, it will only join to a work group and not a domain, there are many more differences, however this are the most impacting ones at my work.
Regarding Server 2003 on the laptop, is it beefy enough ? I like windows 2003 its nice and efficient.
Can you please inform me of what the whole thing you are trying to achieve is, because I dont know what you have done so far or would like to achieve.
At the moment, I am trying to create various things so could help each other understand more ?
I am trying to create a roaming user profiles server… Which on my VMWare i found out how to create a domain in “Manage Your Server” so I am sure enough that it will work.
And my laptop… It should be O.K! I have used Fadora, Ubuntu, 98, ME, 2000 XP on it so I should get it going
Ok so i found the results of the Requirements of 2003 Server
Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition

PC with a 133-MHz processor required; 550-MHz or faster processor recommended (Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition supports up to four processors on one server)
