ps- you did say &quot;&nbsp;integrate correctly &quot;. Home versions and Win9x cannot join a domain, but they can access shares and use Exchange, if that is all you need. All the SBS functionality will be lost.

That's exactly what I wanted to know: the systems absolutely have to be able to join a domain and integrate with Active Directory.<br />
<br />
Sad news, as this will increase the cost quite a bit, but good to know in advance.

I am upgrading my father-in-law's small business server which currently runs just Vista Business. I am implementing Small Business Server 2008.<br />
<br />
Two of his client machines just run Vista Home Premium. I am wondering if this is going to integrate correctly into the network, as I know that Vista Home Premium machines CANNOT be accessed via remote desktop. Yuck.<br />

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

Windows Vista is an operating system created by Microsoft as the successor to Windows XP. It was intended for PCs, workstations and laptops, and shares the same code base as its successor, Windows 7. New features included an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Aero, a new search component called Windows Search, redesigned networking, audio, print and display subsystems, and new multimedia tools. Vista aimed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and media between computers and devices. Windows Vista included version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, allowing software developers to write applications without traditional Windows APIs.
