I have a bunch of XP/Vista Home edition pc's that I will be upgrading or replacing with pro edition. In the mean time can these pc's access data on a windows 2008 server, even if it is just shared directories? Thanks1 person needs an answerI do too

If they're part of a workgroup, they should. I don't believe the Home editions can join a domain.Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]--------------------------------https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Brian.TillmanIf a reply helps, please vote it as helpful.
