Is there any problem in networking a XP Home PC to a 2003 Small Business
Server?
Order 4 new PC for small business and they come with XP Homew standard.
Should we u/g to Pro or will the Home version do OK with SBS 2003?
 
By design, Windows XP Home cannot join a domain.
You can only connect to domain resources.
