Does anyone know what drivers that 2003 server use, 2000, XP or will their be special drivers for 2003?
I imagine that it will depend on the hardware in question. Some things may require new drivers, where others will be able to use drivers from the other OS's. There can't be any one response to that question, but that is just opinion...
I think there probably is only one response and my guess would be that it uses XP drivers because 2003 server is basically XP server and 2000 pro and server both use the same drivers but I don't know for sure and am hoping that someone that has been running the beta could confirm this.
Thanks
According to the 2 day workshop I attended, any "Well Written" 2000 Drivers will work in 2003. I would assume the same for any XP Drivers as they usually work on 2k and vice versa.
Also, it is important to note that Windows Server 2003 is not an entirely new Kernel, it is still considered NT 5, just an interim release not a new Product.
Hope this helps!
