Yup! Currently tweaking and tuning 5 Windows 2003 servers with MFXP 1.0
SP3/FR3. Three of the servers are HP BL20P blades and 2 are older (retired)
Compaq ProLiant DL580 servers. I can't provide any performance characteristics
yet because we are just barely into Pilot and I am still busy fine-tuning. We
also deployed 2 BL20P servers as a new File and Print cluster to support this
new farm, also on Windows 2003 (not much difference in the cluster world over
NT and 2000). We have an older 27-server NT 4.0 MF 1.8 farm that supports
3000-3500 users. It was a little tricky setting up the policies for Office 2003
with an NT 4.0 domain, but we worked it out using a centrally stored
NTCONFIG.POL separate from the NTCONFIG.POL used by the existing 3000+ users.
We did not want to risk any issues loading the 2003 administrative templates
into the primary policy file. We created a separate one with all the additional
2003 policy templates and configured a manual path to it.
One really w-a-a-a-y kewl feature of Windows 2003 terminal services is the
ability to be "on the console" with the MSTSC /v:servername /console command. I
have rarely had to leave my desk in the configuration of the servers. It beats
standing in front of a rack of servers in a cold data center for several
hours!! I can't wait to get all my MF servers upgraded next year to Windows
2003 and MFXP 1.0.

Nope. Only MF XP FR3 is supported (and will install) on 2k3
