| | VISTA & 2003 SERVER Simple question - will Vista Home Edition connect to a 2003 Server or is it not possible like the difference between XP - Pro and XP - Home? What Microsoft Web Site can I show for the findings? (I have a client who wants to connect Vista Home to a network and I told him it is not possible) |

| | Re: VISTA & 2003 SERVER Hi, Vista Home cannot join a domain, that does not mean it cannot connect to a server. It is pretty much the same as the difference between XP Pro/Home. You need Vista Business, Ultimate, or Enterprise to be able to join a domain. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Telelink" <Telelink@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:8A8FBAF4-CDB6-485C-8019-2B882074A2B0@xxxxxx Quote: > Simple question - will Vista Home Edition connect to a 2003 Server or is > it > not possible like the difference between XP - Pro and XP - Home? > > What Microsoft Web Site can I show for the findings? > > (I have a client who wants to connect Vista Home to a network and I told > him > it is not possible) |

| | Re: VISTA & 2003 SERVER Vista Home Edition can "connect to a server" or "connect to a network" just fine, the same as all other versions of Windows can. But it, like Windows XP Home Edition, cannot join a domain. Nonetheless, even on a domain it still can access network resources, shared folders and files, printers, and so on. -- Richard G.
