Do you HAVE to have the W2003 server?

We had that choice a while ago.

50 desktops 98ish, logging into an NT server.

The desktop all ran a DOS-Box app called Arev, along with a bit of windowsy stuff.

NT support went bye-bye.

Arev NEEDED a real Windows server to run as the master file server / locking service stub.

So I put in a Linux box to act as the Domain Master, a W2K box to act as the Arev server / service master, and all the desktops remained the same.

How depressing. Brain the size of a planet, and they have me opening doors.
