Windows 2008 Member Server on 2003 Domain

[Guest steve1980]

We have a Windows 2003 domain and want to introduce a 2008 Member

Server, mainly for testing. Will the 2008 server work happily with

2003 DC's?

Thanks for the feedback, I wasn't sure whether we had to have a 2008

DC first but looks like this is not the case. I will give it a go and

test to see how it integrates.

 

We will be running a few instances of SQL 2005 at first and SQL 2008

later on. I've seen that it is currently supported with a couple of

minor issues that will not affect us.
