Out of the box a Windows 2003 Small Business Server install has application compatibility issues with Windows Vista.

The link you need for some updated components is: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926505

You need to install a couple of these fixes on the server and one of the Vista PC. Prior to a Windows Vista PC joining the network.
