NG AI (R55) under 2003 is working fine for me. I have
it running on a temporary server while I am in the
process of rebuilding my main production server and
everything seems to be running smoothly.

On the production server (a Compaq ML350) I have
noticed that there was a slowdown when rebooting after
installing the Bastion Host security template from
Microsoft but that's not a Checkpoint issue and I'm
not seeing it on the other server so I believe it is
related to the Compaq server. It is also mostly an
annoyance since it does eventually shutdown and reboot
cleanly. It just adds about a minute to my down time.

I also had some issues with getting Windows updates to
install properly either manually or via the web. These
seem to have been corrected by installing the Windows
updates before installing the security template. I
have installed one patch since installing the security
template but I'll be convinced after I successfully
install a couple more patches. I believe this is
probably a mater of one of the patches wanting to
patch and then start a process that is disabled but I
was not able to completely prove this to myself so if
someone knows better please let me know.

Beyond these two small issues both not related to a
default install of Win 2003 or Checkpoint Win 2003 has
been trouble free for a couple of weeks now.

I installed it too and it worked perfectly.
It's a mystery why it takes Checkpoint 5 gazillion
years to update their
site for the supported platforms.

Last time I checked, WS2003 wasn't there.
