Best OS for MS-RMS

We use win 2000 and win 2003. Both work well, but be careful that you apply service packs and hot fixes needed. We had a problem that led to our win

Ozzie...Can I load Win 2003 and the SQL express right over XP and MSDE without losing data?

Thanks

Zoo,

What does the server OS have to do with a register lockup?

What does "I also loose the integrity of the SQL DB and am unable to scan at certain points before exiting POS and restarting the application." mean to you?

The DB is or should be on the server so a register lockup won't affect the server, nor the other register.

What OS is the register running?

Is it on a battery backup?

Is your server and router on a battery backup?

Zoo,

SQL 2005 is unsupported right now with RMS. Look for a change in April-May timeframe.

To install Win 2003 Server you would have to erase the hard drive and re-install the OS, programs and data.

Its also a little overkill for a 3 station setup. XPP on all stations should be fine. 1-2 GB of RAM in the server and 512-1GB in each register works great, if you are only running RMS on it, otherwise you may need more.
