Windows Server 2003/2008 compatibility issues

loss4words

Hi everyone,

Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong section. If I have a domain with only Windows 2003 servers and wanted to start deploying Windows Server 2008, are there any specific compatibility issues I should be looking at or anything in particular I need to know so that I don't run into any unexpected problems? Sorry for being such a newbie.

Thanks.

There shouldn't be any compatibility issues. The only potential problem that I can think of is if you have 2003 DC's you won't be able to increase the functional level to 2008.

and adprep /domainprep, but only if they will be domain controllers.

You don't need to do anything special to add 2008 member servers.
