Windows Vista Clients on a Windows 2003 Server network

[abnewallo]

I am trying to decide about deploying windows Vista machines on my network.
Currently all I have are Windows XP machines.

Will there be any particular upgrades needed on the Windows Server or
otherwise to allow the introduction of these Windows Vista clients?

Quick answer is no.

If you run W2K3 server SP1 and use remote desktop you should have a look at:

Thanks ThePro,

Are their any particular issues that most users encounter in adding Windows
Vista machines for the first time?

No, I've added a number of Vista computers in my AD domain and they just
display as regular computers in ADUC, but if you look at their properties
the "Operating system" value is Windows Vista. Also, most if not all of my
group policies applied to Vista computers without any modifications.
