Were getting a couple of windows 2003 servers we currently
have 38 users and expect to get another half dozen user in
the next few months. Right now we use a xp pro computer as
a print server is there any problems with leaving xp as
the print server compared to moving print services to the
new 2003 server.


Thanks,

Mark
 
Hi Mark,

For Windows XP Professional, the maximum number of
other computers that are permitted to simultaneously
connect over the network is ten. Since there are 38
users in your environment, Windows XP may not meet
your needs.
