of couse I can blame Microsoft !
I do expect Vista to be fully compatible with SBS 2000 - as this was a major
Microsoft product. They have updated their ISA client recently to prove they
have not forgotten ISA 2000 and Vista - therefore I do expect something as
simple as fax support to be there. We have a mixed environment of 2000, XP
and Vista clients.
I also now understand that recent subtle changes to the printer spooler
functions of a windows 2000 update may have led to my printing issues. I
reloaded my printer drivers and all is ok again - Microsoft should have
mentioned this as a potential issue for all Windows 2000 server users. (if
they are not supporting it any more - why the service packs ; )
I do understand why Microsoft encouraging updates to Server 2003 but by
deliberately making it difficult to use previously working products is the
wrong way to go. Maybe on a client level but NEVER on a server product - or
at least provide work arounds as they have done in the past.
Dont make it harder than it already is Microsoft - release a list of issues
between Vista and SBS 2000 (and all your server products) - to clarify and
assist companies who have invested in your products

Well Neil, don't think you can blame this on Microsoft. Mainstream support.
for Windows 2000 and Exchange 2000 ended sometime ago. There was never any
plan to provide Vista Support for SBS 2000. You can join the Vista client
to the domain manually, but you should not expect Fax client driver, or the
Proxy Client if you're running Proxy 2.0 or the Firewall Client if you are
running ISA 2000
Support was released for SBS 2003 and Vista a couple of weeks ago.

Well I have just spent a day testing MS Vista Business attaching to our
SBS2000 server.
1) getting occasional network errors when using Outlook XP !!!! Never had
the problem before with Windows XP - even had an error when I backed up to
a
PST file (at the very end of the creation) then the problem went away
2) Not hing I do can get the Vista Client to talk to the Fax server -
again
never a problem with windows XP
3) This may have something to do with Adobe Reader 8.0 but my PDF's now
print with fonts missing !!!!!! - I have an identical system with XP and
Adobe reader 8.0 and it prints perfectly. This is a very serious issue -
could it be the printer driver being incompatable with Vista ??
All updates are done - come on Microsoft, this is unforgivable !
