I am planning on implementing Windows Server 2008 Standard in my company and I am wondering if Server 2008 works with Windows XP Professional Desktops for group policy and active directory deployment, as well as IIS 7.0 deploying web apps for the same xp desktops, DHCP and sharepoint as well.Any guidance, assistance or help is greatly appreciated.

Hi, Yes, Windows Server 2008 can work with Windows XP Professional. For more information about Windows Server 2008, please refer to the following site: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc706994.aspx Hope it helps. Tim Quan - MSFT
