Windows server 2008 and AS/400 compatibility when server 2008 is domain controller

Any known issues with AS/400 on network with windows server 2008 domain controller and active directory?

There are some considerations when implementing 2008. Not sure exactly what you are looking for. System i Access? Netserver? IXA / IXS? Integrated BladeCenter?

A few thoughts:

IBM only supports System i Access V6R1 on Windows 2008.
IXA and IXS are only supported through Windows 2003, for Windows 2008, IBM only supports iSCSI.
There are some V6R1 PTF's related to Windows 2008. Review your cume PTF cover letters.

Want to make sure that workstations running xp and vista will be albe to use the i series access personal communications workstation program to connect to I Series EServer via network once Windows Server 2008 is installed.

Lmaps:

Gary will be able to handle your question fine, but it will be a great help if you can supply (1) the operating system version of your AS/400 and (2) the iSeries Access version on the PCs. Also, please clarify if user profiles and passwords are used for the iSeries Access connections or kerberos-style connections are used.

Thanks.

The OS of AS/400 is V5RE i5 - workstations connect via password logins on version 5.5
