Guest steve1980 Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 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? Steve

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. http://www.microsoft.com/sql/howtobuy/windowsvistasupport.mspx
