We recently upgraded (actually adding)a Dell server
running 2003 server to replace an aging novell server.
We also have a small workgroup that shares to an XP Pro
machine hosting SQL, all workgroup machines are running
XP home and
we would like to use these as clients
on a windows 2003 server network, is this possible?
and if so can they still be part of the workgroup
or should we install the 2003 server as a workgroup
instead of a domain server.
Any suggestions welcomed.
Doug
