I'd like to use Network Load Balancing on a 2000 and 2003 server if it is
possible to mix OS's. Thanks.

I tried to do this with a bunch of Win2000 TS servers a while a go. We we're
trying to mix them with 2 new Win2003 servers. We found that as soon as we
added a Win2003 server into the existing Win2000 cluster, the whole cluster
disconnected all sessions and only the 2003 server accepted new connections
on the load balanced IP address.

The resolution was one simple little tick box in 2003 that we had missed. In
the port rules section there is a check box called 'All'. If I remember
correctly, we had to un-tick this and enter the cluster IP address in the
box next to it. Then the 2003 servers would work perfectly fine along side
the existing 2000 servers.

I have no idea what the 'All' check box is for - maybe someone else can shed
some light on that??
