Server 5.5 compatible with XP?

[tigergirl]

Hi all,

Thanks to this board, I know that the office I'm working in can't use Server 7 without upgrading all their files to FMP7, which is not in the budget right now. So we want to get Server 5.5. However it's not listed as being compatible with Windows XP. Can someone PLEASE PLEASE tell me that they're compatible??

Thanks,

Tiger

They are.

While the computer doesn't necessarily need to be server-grade, it should, preferably, be dedicated. But, we've had clients run FMS on the same machine as their Exchange and/or web server without much issue. The only thing i know to caution you against would be running FMS on a server that also has SQL-based services running on it, as both tend to take up a lot of resources.

HTH,

Jerry
