I have very few issues. I have about 220 W2K boxes, 5 XP and 40 or so NT4 in a "Site" part of a larger 2K Domain. The XP boxes have not had any trouble thus far.

I have a few smaller environments (10 or fewer workstations) mixed O/S (W2K, W98, XP) and solely XP and the only trouble I have had was when the client bought XP home instead of Pro.

Are you running a 20 workstation environment without a domain/Active Directory?

Nope...see post #19 & 23 for an overview...I must say that when I couldn't get the permissions to work I threatened to strip off XP off and put 98 on the new boxes. Either that or give everyone full admin rights just so they could print. Wait, I did that once, (out of sheer frustration) and they still couldn't print to the local printer on the 98 box....Arrrrrrrrrgh

And don't get me started on why just one of the new XP boxes munges my logon script for one user but not the local administrator or other users?! All twenty machines are nearly identical in hardware, desktop and logon script!!!!!!!!!

And, and, and ...sob... my Norton Ghost is too old to run on XP and we are too cheap to upgrade. (Yeah, at my salary, my time is cheaper than a Ghost license!) I need a vacation....
