hi everyone, I am installing MS CRM on a LAN with a win 2000 Domain Controller.
I know that the operating system on the MSCRM server could be win 2000
server or win 2003 server.
In my situation (I mean the operating system of the domain controller is win
2000) which operating system is recommended to be installed on the MSCRM
server?
thanks.

If you have the choice, and this is fresh ground, I would go with 2003. 2003
will be supported longer than 2000 will, so this will rpivde you a better
foundation for the product.

There is a patch needed fro the authorization though when using a 2000 DC with a
2003 App Server for CRM. It can be downloaded from MSFT.

The patch is an update to a DLL that is needed for security. of course now I'm
second guessing myself. Was it CRM on a 2000 server with AD on a 2003 server or
vice versa that requires the patch...I am pretty sure it's CRM On a 2003 server
with AD on 2000 that requires it.

Regardless, what I would recommend is installing the app, then if there are
problems related to the security service open a support ticket. They will be
able to provide the patch that you will need.
