Deploying IIS 6.0 Application To IIS 5.0 Box....

[Tam OShanter]

Hello All,
Question regarding application compatibility...

We have been developing an asp.net application and deployed to a test
environment consisting of
Windows server 2003 Web Edition, IIS 6.0 and MDAC 2.8 SP2.

Prior to production deployment, it was noticed (I know.....) that our
production server is in fact running Windows 2000 with IIS5.0

Will my 2003/IIS 6.0 application work with my Win2k/IIS5.0 setup?

I would assume not, but have been engaged by a developer that finds my
concerns with this discrepancy to be somewhat laughable.

Can any one provide me with a good answer, as I have looked and information
on this topic is lacking (probably because no one would consider doing what
my developer says is a piece of cake...)

Please help.

Any and all feedback is most welcome.

Thanks for your time.

B.

Whether your application works, or the degree to which it works, depends of
course, on what features your application makes use. Below is some MSDN
information comparing the features of different versions of IIS. Without
more information, it is hard to be more specific.
