Sarver 2012 R2 - PDC

WinXP Pro SP3

I just moved from SBS2008 to 2012R2. I discovered that WinXP is not fully supported out-of-the box. I can join the domain from WinXP system but cannot load server printers. More importantly, access to the local resources is denied, e.g. C drive for program loads/updates, external USB backup drive. This WinXP system is a domain computer. I cannot migrate to Win7 based upon apps on these 2 systems.

I can logon as local administrator to get access to local resources. I had to modified security settings on the WinXP system to get access to "allusers" application data folder.

There has to be a hotfix to enable WinXP. Help is asked.

The problem with your XP computer seems to be local and not linked to your AD domain.

I would recommend asking them in Windows XP forum:http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/home?category=windowsxpitpro&filter=alltypes&sort=lastpostdesc

Please do not forget that Windows XP end of support will be soon: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/enterprise/endofsupport.aspx

Here is the causal trail:

2 WinXP SP3 systems were domain computers in SBS2008.
All Win XP SP3 systems had total access to local resources and were local administrator for program updates under SBS2008 AD
Migrated SBS2008 to 2012 R2 Standard
Detached WinXP SP3 systems from SBS2008 domain into WORKGROUP
All WinXP SP3 systems in administrator local account had full access to local resources
Joined WinXP SP3 system to 2012 R2 domain.
Logged into domain with account as administrator
WinXP SP3 domain login could not add network printer, could not access external USB drive (access denied) and could not update or load programs existing on the C drive
WinXP SP3 local administrator account can access USB drive and update/load programs

This problem only began when a working system joined the 2012 R2 domain. I do not think it is an XP issue. Your thoughts
