when you restart the system you will see the service pack version ( the screen with the blue background )... another way is rightclick on the MY COMPUTER icon on the desktop and you can see the details of the service pack.

as for the XP server ..there is no XP server ..not that i know of..

Migrating to Windows 2000 server is a good idea you can take advantage of the features active directory.

type "winver" from run command, will tell you what version you have on the computer.

Greetings,

You don't say why you're considering an upgrade, but my rule of thumb is to upgrade if there is some compelling reason to do so - increase the profit, product or process, or in the case of software upgrade if I'm "forced" to for compatibility reasons.

I'm upgrading right noe to Win 2000 Server. I don't like to be on the "bleeding edge", so to speak. Windows.NET Server (Windows XP Server) is too new for me to get into right now. I like to wait until the bugs are all worked out, and there is plenty of informational and training material available. (I don't think it's even released yet, but will be soon.) According the the ongoing TechRepublic poll,
https://www.techrepublic.com/poll/poll.jhtml?
pollId=r001 20% of the respondents thus far either plan to upgrade to Windows.Net immediately or within a year. I'll wait a few years.

Regards,

Maxwell
