ML 330 G3 -> XP -> Insight Agents

[Erik_31]

Have a desire to deploy high uptime appliances that run on low end server model ML 330 G3.

Due to the nature of the application being used, I'd like to use Windows XP instead of Windows 2003.

What luck am I going to have?

-Will Windows Server 2003 drivers work with XP?
(I've already noticed problems with the ATA controller)

-Will Insight Agents work with Windows XP?

I've used the same approach with the ML 330 line using Windows NT 4 workstation vs. server and never missed a beat.

I use Insight Agents and Insight Manager to achieve a 300 to 1 FTE ratio in a 24 x 7 environment. They must work in this scenario or I'll be forced to go another route.


Looking for advice.

Thanks in advance for any input.
