application compatibility toolkit on server 2008
Is there a version of Application Compatibility toolkit which helps in identifying compatibility issues in server 2008?I have a situation where I don't have the media for some of the applications which are currently running in Windows server 2003. Is there any tool which can be run in server 2003 and identify the compatibility issues which the applications might encounter in server 2008?

Hi Vincent/Pravin,I checked out the link Vincent had provided.I downloaded SCT and WWT and checked it out.But it does more of a certification level testing than compatibility testing.I would prefer some tool which would just list the compatibility issues as ACT does for Vista.Also applications which were failed by SCT or WWT were still found to be compatible in server 2008.That is it is working fine in server2008.Please let me know if you have any suggestions.Thanks in advance,Roshan
