Server 2003 compatibility questions 1

[healermoon]

We have 5 servers, one at our corporate headquarters, one at Distribution Center and three for our e-commerce division. Currently they are all running NT4. We need to upgrade our corporate server to allow for upgrading our payroll software, and are looking at a Server 2003 machine, will it play nicely with the NT Machines or would we need to upgrade all 5 right now? Also would we have to re-buy our CALs? Thanks for the information I really appreciate it guys.

I'm assuming that you have NT 4 domain. You can add the 2003 server to the NT 4 domain with no problem. You can not make it a domain controller.

You will need to purchase new CALs for the users that will be connecting to the new Windows 2003 server.
