Windows 2000 and 2008 servers: Can they read each other

I'm having a Windows 2000 server on the domain server, and I want to install 2008 Server on the ERP server (BAAN). Can the 2 types of Windows read each other?

Expert's answer

As long as you add the Windows 2008 server as a member of the Active Directory domain without making it a domain controller your Windows 2000 and Windows 2008 servers should happily co-exist and be able to read and write each other's file systems.

Windows 2008 server does not get along with Windows NT4 servers but should not have any trouble with Windows 2000. I would recommend making sure that Windows Server 2008 is compatible with your BAAN ERP software and that you test that compatibility before upgrading your production server.
