> I run an engineering Development Lab with around 130 Servers in it

> Virtual Server 2005 R2 and Virtual Machine Manager. We plan to
> consolidate around 35 servers in the coming 2 months While expanding
> our server farm capacity by about the same number on virtual hardware.
> To do a lot of this we use RIS, actually today we use Windows
> Deployment Services (Legacy mode) to roll out our Server 2003

> Deployment role in Server 2008 only supports Server 2008 and Vista
> deployments, legacy Windows 2003 is not included. I understand the
> difference in the deployment models between the two and need to find
> out if the Server 2003 deployment services can support mixed mode
> deployment or if the lastest Windows Automated Install Kit can do it.
> I would like to consolidate our deployment services on to as few
> machines as can handle the load as possible and it simply does not
> make sense for us to migrate out deployment system up to server 2008
> early if we are hamstrung by only partial support for our server
> deployments.

> I've been looking for discussions and whitepapers on mixed mode
> deployment support but found only docs that one or the other mode.
