Which IFS should i use

Hi All,
I’ve a problem in developing file system fiter driver.The problem is, i want
to develop a file system filter driver for 2003 server,XP and 2000. i’ve
2000 IFS kit. can i develope the driver by using this kit? or shall i use
2003 server IFS kit? if i develope the driver with 2000 kit will it be
compatible to 2003 server?Please adive.
Thanks in advance
Sriram

FSFDs compiled by 2000 IFS kit will work on 2k3. I think you should also
look at filter manager before starting with the development.

Sorry, wrong answer. Just like the DDK, you should be using the latest IFS
kit for your work. This kit has the newest tools, documentation and
samples. Doing anything else is a bad idea.

Yeah true… I was thinking of whether FSFD’s compiled using 2K’s IFS Kit
will run on 2K3 or not. Sorry for the misinterpretation… You should always
get the latest kits, for the latest samples and docs and …

Not only that, but anyone who used a sample from an EARLIER version is
strongly encouraged to diff the sample they used with the current
version of that sample - because there ARE bug fixes, and it is far
better for the rest of the community if you correct the samples
proactively, rather than waiting for us to stumble across them in the
course of debugging.

It is only necessary to use 2K libraries. Drivers linked with
XP libraries cannot be loaded under Win2000.

Thank you all,
I’ve source code which was compiled on IFS 2k tool kit(for 2k
platform).shall i recompile the same source using 2k3 tool kit to build a
filter driver which is compatible with 2k,XP,2k3?or need to do any
modifications(due to changes in IRPs,structures,libraries in latest version)
in the source?
