Just a heads up from on of the many resources we subscribe to - there may be a problem with opportunistic locking on 2003 Server.
The W2K newsletter (http://www.w2knews.com) reports a customer who "upgraded his Dell PowerEdge 1500SC from Windows 2000 Server to 2003 and immediately the users started complaining of problem accessing their QuickBooks files, then the no access turned into file corruption. This customer also runs a older Paradox database system on the server and files started becoming corrupt with it as well."…
"To shorten this up some I removed Windows 2003 upgrade and reinstalled Windows 2000 Server and the problems immediately went away…"
"now people all over the place are having the same problems with Windows Server 2003 and Database applications, it seems opportunistic file locking is the problem"
We have not seen any problems in the field yet with linear hash, but are posting this by way of "a public service announcement" in case anyone experiences it!

I have had two sites running Windows 2003 and the other Small Business Windows 2003. Both have been running full time for at least two months. One has the Rev NT Service 1.5 and the other 2.1. Clients run Arev 3.12, OI16, OI 7.0.
I haven't seen any problems.

Excellent - as we said - we've had no issues either - but that must be a first for other databases to get hit and for us to be safe!

Only once? Oh, what can you expect from an elfmade man!
As you can imagine, this Oscars stuff has been bigger than big, bigger than … Ben what-ever. Most people this parts have had a link in to the project. BTW the scenery IS all real, and the local council at Hobbiten has had to build new toilets to cater for the tourists.
