Microsoft to address Windows 2003 compatibility issues

Microsoft next month plans to release service packs to enable Commerce Server 2002 and Content Management Server 2002 to run on the latest Windows Server 2003 operating system. Currently, solution providers wanting to move customers on those e-business servers to Windows Server 2003 find it a rough row to hoe and are waiting for code to move the servers onto the new environment.

"We have to continue developing on Windows Server 2000 and then forklift everything over to 2003. We're waiting for an infrastructure fix that we presume will not affect the functionality of the solutions we're building," said one East Coast solution provider familiar with the issue.
